The Red Devils knew the kind of situation they were getting themselves into as they played host to Beijing Guoan FC at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium, and though they had high expectations in that match to record a more appealing result, things didn't go their way as they fell to a 1:0 defeat.
Prior to that, they couldn't get the job done in their match against Shenzhen FC, mainly owing to the numerical disadvantage they had in that game, which saw them reduced to 10-men on the field with 11 minutes left to play, which resulted in them settling for a share of the spoils in a 1:1 draw.
Sergio Zarco Díaz's men have not won any of their last five matches as they have recorded three draws and two losses, and those sets of results have surely typified a poor form, and nothing but a convincing performance will be needed from them moving forward if they are to distance themselves from inconsistency.
They presently occupy 15th place with 3 points and are 3 points behind 7th place, while they have maintained a 2 point lead over fellow relegation candidate Zhejiang Professional FC in 16th place.

Wuhan Three Towns
Form: DWWDL
Following their dominant performance against Qingdao Hainiu FC, which saw them eke out a comfortable 3:0 victory, Pedro Morilla was hoping for more of the same replica of that performance from his side in their recent match against Zhejiang Professional FC at home, which was far from being seen as they settled for a point in a scoreless draw.
Given the fact that Wuhan couldn't eke out a win against a side that was currently on a four-match losing streak and faced with the ignominy that comes with being in the relegation zone, it was nothing more than another poor showing from them with their performance, and that draw alone has seen them without a win in their last three home matches this season.
However, that shouldn't dampen their spirits, as they are currently unbeaten in their last four matches, recording two draws and two wins to accumulate eight points, and will be keen on extending that run to five matches by claiming a comfortable win against a side that has yet to live up to expectations.
They presently occupy 6th place with 8 points and have maintained a 2 point lead over Beijing Guoan FC in 7th place, while they are three points behind 2nd place.

Expert Betting Tips
Henan FC are still without a win since the start of the season, and that could be cause for concern as they find themselves in the relegation zone, which is no place they want to find themselves in if they are to contend for the Super League title.
The reigning champions, Wuhan Three Towns are not one to put your faith in this season, as they, along with Shandong Taishan, have been untrustworthy to deliver on some impressive performances in their matches, and this clash could be one of those matches where nothing but a disappointing outcome will be recorded by them.
As such, we expect this to be a low-scoring encounter where the total under 2.5 goals should be enough to surface, mainly owing to the fact that Henan FC has displayed a decent defensive front in their last five matches, as the total has gone under 2.5 goals in all those matches.
- Goals - Under 2.5 for 2.07
- Both Teams To Score - No for 1.97
- Total 2 - Under 2 for 1.66
