The Flower of Shanghai, too, managed to rebound with a convincing 3:0 win over Shenzhen FC at the Shanghai Stadium following their 2:1 defeat at the hands of Dalian Pro.
Jingui Wu's men were one of the best sides at the very beginning of the season, where their defensive solidarity was their driving force to success. However, they have taken a dip in form, winning just two of their six matches in the league. Away from home, they are currently on a three-match winless run, picking up two losses and a draw.

Expert Betting Tips
Wuhan Three Towns have established themselves as formidable foes when playing at home, and while their win is to be expected here, they go up against a side that could potentially spoil their party. Treading cautiously will be something they'll want to implement to avoid recording an unfavorable result.
While Shanghai Shenhua have it in them to cause an upset in this clash, they know that picking up all three points in his clash will prove to be a difficult task given that they have not won any of their last three matches in this fixture, and they too will want to avoid defeat in this clash just after reigniting their confidence.
Wuhan Three Towns have seen goals at both ends of the pitch in seven of their eight matches in the league, and we don't expect them to keep a clean sheet here, which makes us inclined to think that both teams will have their names on the scoresheet here in what could turn out to be an entertaining affair.
