Meizhou Hakka FC

Form: DWDWL

Meizhou Hakka were unlucky not to have picked up maximum points in front of their fans, as their first match after the international break was a 1-1 draw against Zhejiang Professional, a result that was favorable to their cause at the end of the day.

However, on the flip side, they extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches, with two wins and two draws since a 3-1 away defeat against Tianjin Teda on August 26th.

Playing at home has been a safe haven for Meizhou Hakka's men, who have avoided defeat in eight matches, recording six wins and two draws. With such an impressive display at home, they'll be banking on that to get back to winning ways against a side that has shown close to nothing with their performance.

They currently occupy 11th place with 34 points, four points ahead of 12th-placed Cangzhou Mighty Lions and four points behind ninth-placed Changchun Yatai.

Nantong Zhiyun FC

Form: LLLLL

Nantong Zhiyun tried to be a competitive side in their match against Shanghai Shenhua at home, but their valiant efforts were not enough to see them avoid a 1-0 defeat.

This extended their losing streak in the league to five matches in which they conceded 11 goals and failed to score in three matches, painting them as a side that has struggled dearly in front of goal. Their last win was a 1-0 away win over Shenzhen on August 19th, a crucial win that halted an eleven-match winless run.

With a two-match losing streak away from home, Nantong Zhiyun have only managed to win one of their 14 matches while recording seven losses and six draws to accumulate 9 points from a possible 42, the same number of points as Henan, who sits tenth in the standings.

They currently occupy 15th place with 19 points in the standings and are level on points with 14th-placed Dalian Pro. With two games left to spare, dropping points is not a solution if they are to avoid relegation.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1
