Nantong Zhiyun FC

Form: LLWLL

Nantong Zhiyun FC failed to capitalize on their 3:0 win against Heilongjiang Ice City FC in the third round of the Chinese FA Cup as their trip to Shanghai Stadium to lock horns with Shanghai Shenhua in the 13th round of the Super League witnessed them succumb to a 1:0 defeat.

That defeat alone has only meant that they have suffered back-to-back defeats, with their prior match against league leaders Shanghai Port FC on the road resulting in a 2:1 defeat. Taking a look at their last ten matches in the league, they've typified nothing but inconsistency, as Gabri's men have recorded seven losses, two draws, and one win.

When playing at home, they were currently on a four-match winless run, recording three losses and a draw, but managed to snap that negative run with a 1:0 victory against Qingdao Hainiu FC. Two of their wins this season have been recorded at home, where they've fared much better as opposed to their erratic away form, which is ranked third-worst this season.

They are presently in fourteenth place with nine points and are barely one point ahead of the drop zone. Securing all three points here might propel them to twelfth place.

Team News

Nantong Zhiyun FC manager Gabri has only one fitness problem to be concerned about coming into this game, with Xu Jinmin likely to be sidelined through injury.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-1-1

S. Xiaodong; L. Huan, S. Ma, L. Wei, Y. Shinar; Romario, C. Kang, L. Morelatto, W. Song; M. Yang; L. Xiangbin

Meizhou Hakka FC

Form: LLLLD

Meizhou Hakka FC made the trip to Hangzhou Dragon Stadium to renew hostilities with Zhejiang Professional FC for the 14th time and were unfortunate not to have walked away with a more favorable outcome as they bowed down to a convincing 3:0 defeat to extend their losing streak against them to two matches and their winless run to five matches.

So far, Meizhou Hakka have extended their losing streak in the league to four matches, while their winless run sits at seven matches, illustrating their struggles with consistency this season, which has had dire consequences for them with their progression in the standings.

Away from home, they've left much to be desired with their performance, where five points have been accumulated in their last seven matches from two draws and a win while recording five losses in the process, making for a more improved showing from them moving forward.

They are presently thirteenth in the standings with nine points, one point ahead of the relegation zone and two places above it.

Team News

Other than the news of Rodrigo Henrique's return from suspension, Milan Ristić has no injury concerns to be worried about as he has a healthy squad to choose from coming into this game.

Probable Starting XI

G. Quanbo; W. Wei, P. Ximing, R. Dugalic, C. Zhechao; N. Kosovic, L. Shi; Y. Hongbo, Y. Chugui, Y. Chaosheng; Y. Congyao

With the unwavering support of their fans behind them at home, surely they'll relish the opportunity to unleash their dominance with bookmakers putting faith in them.

The difficulties Meizhou Hakka FC has had on the road have been widely publicized. As baseless as it may sound, experience should be on their side in this scenario because they appear to be the superior team and are more than capable of neutralizing the threat posed by a team that has recently been promoted to the top tier after spending what seems like an eternity in the lower echelons of the league.

A win for Meizhou Hakka FC at full-time can be highly anticipated, but to play it safe, a draw no bet in their favor should come in handy as they have remained unbeaten in their last four meetings against the hosts, winning four and drawing one.
