Guangzhou Evergrande

Form: LDDLD

With no one but themselves to blame for their disappointing loss on the road against Cangzhou Mighty Lions in the third round of the Chinese FA Cup, it's undeniable that they didn't give it their all to put forth a convincing performance, which saw their journey in the competition end with a 3:1 defeat.

Prior to that, they suffered another disappointing result at home against defending champions Shandong Taishan, losing 4:2, but this time they put up a much-needed fight to breach a solid defense and net two consolation goals.

In the background of things, their performance has been appalling to this point. They have gone 18 games without a victory, have only amassed 8 points during this time, and to make matters worse, they are without a win in 8 consecutive home games.

They are currently in 16th place with 17 points, level on points with Guangzhou City FC in 15th place, and just three points away from escaping the relegation zone, so a win in this encounter will be the only result they'll be looking forward to as a point won't be enough to satisfy them.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

S. Liu (1); R. Hao (44), W. Zhao (3), Y. Li (6), C. Quanjiang (4); S. Wang (31), D. Yan (15), Z. Xiuwei (8); W. Shihao (7), H. Junmin (46), Y. Liyu (17).

Beijing Guoan

The Imperial Guards did what they do best in their recent match by cruising to a 3:0 victory at home against Changchun Yatai, with Wang Ziming scoring a brace, giving them an important three points on the spot.

Although they had some bumps along the way, losing two straight games to Dalian Pro at home (3:1) and Zhejiang Professional FC on the road (2:0), they weren't hindered in any way and have since recovered from their mistakes as they are currently on a two-match winning streak.

They currently hold the 6th spot in the standings with 55 points, which puts them four points behind third place. However, they may be concerned about the consequences of failing to secure a victory because they are only three points ahead of Henan Jianye in seventh place, as they could fall one place down the standings due to a goal differential being the contributing factor.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

H. Sen (1); R. Qilong (38), Y. Yang (3), Y. Bai (26), L. Huan (19); Y. Cao (37), M. Dabro (30), G. Tianyi (15), Kang Sang-woo (17); W. Ziming (20), Z. Yuning (9).
