Tianjin Teda

Form: DLDDW

Tianjin Teda were behind Shanghai Port FC's demise in the fourth round of the CFA Cup as they eliminated league leaders from the competition by winning 5-3 on penalties after playing out a goalless draw in regular time, and it's without a doubt they enjoyed every second of it, a success worth adding to their portfolio.

Due to the fact that the Tigers have only lost one of their last eighteen games, this has been a notable run from them this season; however, their failure to eke out a comfortable win over relegation candidates Shenzhen FC in their most recent league match has seen their notable run with flaws as of late, as they have failed to win any of their four matches, picking up three draws and a loss.

The Tigers have only won one of their five home matches, a 3:2 win over Qingdao Hainiu FC, while being swamped with four draws in the process to accumulate seven points, but looking at the brighter side, they have been an unassailable force at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium, where they have yet to suffer defeat in their last nine matches with six draws and three wins to their name.

In the standings, they presently occupy fifth place with 29 points, one point ahead of Beijing Guoan in sixth place and level on points with Shandong Taishan in fourth place, while their bid for a third-place finish is hampered by a four-point deficit.

Team News

Weijun Xie, who scored two goals that were crucial for his side to avoid defeat in a match against Shenzhen FC and salvage a point in a 3:3 draw, will start this one off the bench once again. The 25-year-old has played 16 matches for Tianjin Teda and has four goals to his name, one goal shy of being level with Farley Rosa, who has scored five goals to be Tianjin Teda's top goal scorer.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Changchun Yatai FC

Form: DDDLW

Chen Yang's men left out one important part of their homework, which led to their exit from the CFA Cup after succumbing to a 1:0 defeat in the fourth round at the hands of Qingdao Hainiu FC, as they thought they were up against a newly promoted side but forgot that they were up against the 2002 CFA Cup Champions.

Changchun Yatai were a bit unfortunate not to have walked away with all three points in front of their supporters as they settled for a 1:1 draw with resilient Shanghai Shenhua. Changcheng Cheng put his side ahead in the opening eight minutes, but his valiant efforts would all be in vain as his side conceded a goal in the 53rd minute courtesy of a Shenglong Jiang equalizer.

Chen Yang's men have been in poor form when playing away, winning three of their last nine matches to go along with four losses and two draws in the process. It's also worth noting that they are currently on a four-match winless run, picking up three losses and a draw—a negative run that could see them extend their winless rut in the league to five matches.

In the standings, they presently occupy eighth place with 26 points, one point ahead of Zhejiang Professional FC in ninth place and three points behind fourth place. Failure to collect all three points here could see them drop down the standings, if Zhejiang Professional FC were to eke out a win in their match.

Team News

Chen Yang is likely to make no changes to the group that played out a 1:1 draw against Shanghai Shenhua. With no changes to the group, it's likely that the 4-3-3 formation will be used here, where Long Tan, Changcheng Cheng, and Jinxian Wang will feature up front.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Y. Wu; A. Abdugheni, C. Qi, J. Okore, Z. Yan; Y. Zhang, C. Liao, P. Žulj; L. Tan, C. Cheng, J. Wang

Expert Betting Tips

Tianjin Teda have garnered more draws than any other team this season, with eleven of their eighteen matches ending in draws, depicting them as a resilient side that has been difficult to beat.

However, behind closed doors, Genwei Yu knows such results won't be enough to make their goal of finishing in an AFC Champions League qualifier spot attainable given that the chase for the league title is no longer something on their vocabulary, and as such, nothing but a win will be deemed a favorable outcome from now on.

Changchun Yatai, on the other hand, have fallen on hard times, failing to win any of their last five matches across all competitions, settling for three draws and two losses, and their woes are expected to continue, having won just one of their last seven matches in this fixture, with four ending in draws.

Given that six of their seven meetings have witnessed goals at both ends of the pitch, such a trend is to be anticipated in this clash, where defense will be of little importance to either side looking to get back to winning ways.
