Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Wuhan Three Towns vs Zhejiang Professional FC, probable lineups, match facts, and up-to-date betting odds for you to consider!

Wuhan Three Towns

Pedro Morilla's men delivered the full package of an impressive performance in their recent match against newly promoted Qingdao Hainiu FC on the road, as they romped to a comfortable 3:0 victory to live up to the billing of favorites.

In that game, they displayed a dominant first-half performance that saw them take a two-goal lead over their opponents thanks to goals from Davidson and Deng Hanwen. However, they were not quite done for the day, as defender Li Yang scored the game-winning goal in the 51st minute.

Pedro Morilla knows that his side hasn't had the best of luck this season as they failed to win their opening two games, which saw them record a loss against Shanghai Port FC (2:0) and a draw against Beijing Guoan FC (1:1). But now a two-match winning streak has undoubtedly turned the tide around for the better, instilling the much-needed motivation and confidence to deliver an impressive performance moving forward.

With that win against Qingdao Hainiu FC, they have now moved from 10th to occupy 6th place and have 7 points to their name, while their bid for a first-place finish is hampered by a three-point deficit.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

D. Liu; G. Zhunyi, Wallace, Y. Liu, D. Hanwen; W. Shihao, N. Stanciu, H. Chao, X. Pengfei; Davidson, Ademilson

Zhejiang Professional FC

The Green Giants failed to meet expectations in their recent match at home against Chengdu Rongcheng FC, as they missed out on yet another chance to record their first win of the season as they succumbed to a 2:0 defeat, and it goes without saying that they failed to be a little more competitive.

Prior to that, they were pitted up against Shandong Taishan on the road, and in that match, there's no denying they displayed a fighting spirit against a superior side in search for a more appealing result, but their willingness wasn't enough to avoid suffering a 2:1 defeat at the conclusion of the game, an outcome that could have turned out differently if it weren't for the red card shown to defender Yue Xin in the 19th minute to put them at a numerical disadvantage.

While fortune favors the bold, they have not been worthy of it, as they have failed to win any of their last four matches, and to put it mildly, they have lost four consecutive matches. Those results have however dragged them right into an inconsistent form.

They are presently rooted at the bottom of the table as they occupy 16th place with no points to their name, and that's not a place they want to find themselves in in the middle of the season as they are embroiled in the relegation zone and are 3 points away from safety.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Expert Betting Tips

Wuhan Three Towns' two-match winning streak can attest that they have finally found their rhythm, and with home advantage where they get to rectify their mistakes with a resounding result in front of their raucous fans, nothing but an impressive performance will be expected from them in this clash.

Zhejiang Professional FC have been in poor form since the start of the season, and having recorded four consecutive losses doesn't depict a side that had a great run in the previous season, finishing in third place.

Their stuttering performance may be cause for concern as they are routed to the bottom of the table in the relegation zone, and a more improved showing from them will definitely be required moving forward to avert what could possibly turn out to be a dismal season for them.

Both sides have been evenly matched when pitted against each other, as they have two wins to their names in the last four matches, and three of those matches have witnessed both sides get on the scoreboard. Such is to be expected here given that neither side has shown a solid defense this season, making the both teams to score here enough to surface.
