Shenzhen FC

Form: LLLWL

The Youth Army were on the receiving end of a 3:0 defeat against Chengdu Rongcheng FC in their recent match at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center. This extended their losing streak in the Super League to three matches.

While they were on a two-match winning streak at home, there was some glimmer of optimism that they would be able to use that to their advantage against Seo Jung-won's men and settle for a favorable result, but it was a failed endeavor.

Now they'll have their work cut out for them as they strive to avoid a potential second defeat against a team desperate to get back on track, and considering their recent performance, it won't come as a surprise if they fall short again.

They are presently in twelfth place with 11 points, four points behind tenth place. Given that they are two spots and three points above the relegation zone, they have every right to be concerned about their prospects for survival this season. Suffering another loss could see them potentially being hauled down to the relegation zone, but only if Qingdao Hainiu FC or Dalian Pro win their respective games, of course.

Team News

Frank Acheampong, who has now missed the last two matches, remains doubtful coming into this game.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-4-1

M. Wei; S. Hujahmat, J. Zhipeng, Y. Mincheng, Y. Boyu, Z. Dalun; L. Yue, Z. Yuan, R. Huang, X. Yue; Y. Du

Wuhan Three Towns

Form: DDDLW

Wuhan Three Towns had high hopes to impress their new manager Tsutomu Takahata in their home match against bottom-table dwellers Dalian Pro, but their subpar performance on home soil got in the way of achieving such a feat as they settled for a point apiece in a goalless draw despite a dominant display.

With a home form that is cause for concern this season, their success has been solely dependent on their travels, where twelve points have been accumulated in the last seven matches from three wins, three draws, and a solitary 2:1 loss against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC. Hopefully they'll be able to get back on track given their convincing performance away from home this season.

They are presently in ninth place with 17 points, three points behind sixth place. While they have no relegation concerns because they are nine points ahead, their complete concentration may be totally focused on closing the fifteen-point gap to first place, assuming that keeping their title is still pertinent to them.

Team News

While Abdul-Aziz Yakubu failed to satisfy manager Tsutomu Takahata in a 0:0 tie with Dalian Pro, the 24-year-old has been given another chance to redeem himself, as he is scheduled to start off the bench once more.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

D. Liu; D. Hanwen, Y. Liu, Wallace, G. Zhunyi; H. Chao, N. Stanciu, D. Yan; Ademilson, Aziz, Q. Tao

Expert Betting Tips

Shenzhen FC performed poorly in their match against Chengdu Rongcheng FC, where their setback didn't come as a surprise to many. While home advantage is expected to play a huge role in them securing a positive result, that won't likely be the case as they are up against a side they have lost to in their previous two meetings.

There's no denying that Wuhan Three Towns did wallow in their sorrow after their failed attempt to get back to winning ways against relegation-threatened Dalian Pro in their recent match at home. Now they are presented with another opportunity to do so, this time away from home, where they've fared better in terms of performance, making their win in this clash one not to be doubted.

The ATG market appears to be an ideal option for this matchup, and Ademilson, who has five goals in his previous eleven games this season, is highlighted. It is reasonable to expect him to score here considering that in his previous two encounters against Shenzhen FC, he managed to score, making it likely that he will do so in this matchup against a team that has the league's weakest defense with 28 goals allowed in 13 games.

• Anytime Goalscorer - Ademilson for 1.83
• Total - Over 3.5 for 1.95
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 2.01
