Meizhou Hakka FC

Form: LWLLW

What could have been the start of a sudden resurgence for Meizhou Hakka, going unbeaten in three matches from the start of July up until the 12th, recording two wins and a draw, slowly started to turn out to be a run of inconsistency as this was followed by a three-match losing streak in all competitions.

Their recent 6:1 thrashing at the hands of Shandong Taishan in the league interrupted a golden opportunity for them to record their second win on the bounce, and now they'll have to avoid another defeat that could see them spiraling in the trenches of poor form.

While Milan Ristić prayed for a more consistent showing from his side at the Wuhua County Olympic Sports Center Stadium after going on a three-match winless run, recording two losses and a draw, it seems his prayers have not gone unheeded as that negative run has been complemented by a three-match winning streak, and he will likely fancy the chances of his side making it to four consecutive wins by claiming a comfortable win in this encounter.

They presently occupy 13th place with 19 points, level on points with Qingdao Hainiu FC in 11th place and Henan FC in 12th place, while they are only four points ahead of the relegation zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Changchun Yatai FC

Form: DDDDD

Changchun Yatai's struggles in the league continued once again as they failed to eke out a win over Nantong Zhiyun at home and were limited to a 1:1 draw.

Recording just one win in the month of July, which was a 3:1 win over Henan FC, they have since gone on a seven-match winless run in all competitions, picking up five draws and two losses, a series of unfavorable results that are likely to be their undoing come the conclusion of the season.

For a side that was once on a three-match unbeaten run away from home, picking up two wins and a draw, they've entangled themselves in a series of unfavorable results that have seen them in poor form, going on a five-match winless run with three losses and two draws recorded, which makes their likelihood of causing an upset here non-existent as they go up against a side that has won their last three matches at home.

They presently occupy 9th place with 28 points, one point ahead of Cangzhou Mighty Lions in 10th place and three points adrift of 5th place, which is currently occupied by Zhejiang Professional FC.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

Expert Betting Tips

Meizhou Hakka FC might be blowing hot and cold in the league, but their home form has to be a different scenario, as they have started to pick up form after an enduring run, and their three-match winning streak at the Wuhua County Olympic Sports Center Stadium definitely suggests a side that will prove to be highly competitive despite a morale-crushing defeat to Shandong Taishan.

Changchun Yatai have failed to find some consistency in either side of their domestic duties in recent weeks, and getting back to winning ways is definitely something on their radar as they seek to put an end to a seven-match winless run. However, with the hosts brimming with confidence instigated by their home form, claiming a win won't be as easy as they anticipated, neither will they be content with a point.

As such we anticipate an open affair where goals will be aplenty with both sides getting on the scoreboard.
