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

Wuhan Three Towns

Form: LWDWL

Wuhan Three Towns were swayed by Chengdu Rongcheng's alluring charm for the second time, which has left them without a victory against them in two straight games as their recent match against them saw them suffer a narrow 1:0 loss on the road and their cries for vengeance once more fell on deaf ears.

Their relationship with patience has been cordial, but they haven't done a good enough job of utilizing it to their advantage. In their last five games, they've dropped 8 points and amassed 7 points from two losses, two wins, and a draw, which hasn't been enough to ease their minds as they travel down a challenging path that could see them fall behind from the top spot if a loss were to be witnessed.

For a team that was once on a roll, winning 12 straight games from June through August, their recent form hasn't necessarily reflected that form. It hasn't been particularly good, but it hasn't been bad either. To be more precise, it's been in the middle of those two extremes.

They are currently in second place with 72 points and are three points off from regaining their first place position, which is currently occupied by Shandong Taishan, and recording victories in these two remaining games will be their top priority going forward.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

D. Liu (22); Y. Liu (18), Y. Yan (4), Z. Wentao (19); X. Haoyang (37), Z. Xiaobin (12), H. Chao (21), D. Hanwen (25); Davidson (11), Marcao (13), X. Pengfei (30)3).

Zhejiang Professional

Form: WDWWW

Following a 3:0 win over Guangzhou City FC in the third round of the Chinese FA Cup at the Huzhou Olympic Sports Center, with goals from Yao, Zhong, and Eysajan, they automatically qualified for the next round of the competition where they'll get to face Jinan Xingzhou FC.

Prior to that, they were held to a 1:1 draw on the road against Chengdu Rongcheng, and their faces were clouded with disappointment as they couldn't walk away with three points after taking the lead in the 43rd minute of the first half through Leung Nok Hang's strike, but unfortunately, Possignolo's handball challenge in the 72nd minute, which eventually saw him sent off, saw their opponent net in the equalizer to foil their plans.

Their performance in the last five matches has been admirable, as they've demonstrated their defensive cohesion by recording three clean sheets and conceding only two goals while accumulating 13 points. It's also worth noting that Jordi Vinyals' side is on an eight-match unbeaten streak, with six wins and two draws.

They are currently in third place with 62 points after 32 games played out of a possible 34, three points ahead of fourth-placed Shanghai SIPG and fifth-placed Chengdu Rongcheng, and a victory in this case could widen the point gap to six points if it happens either side encounters a setback in their upcoming matches.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-1-4-1

G. Chao (1); D. Yu (19), L. Nok Hang (2), Lucas (36), Y. Xin.(28); L. Wei (17); A. Abdusalam (18), F. Andrijasevic (11), C. Jin.(22), Matheus (10); N. Mushekwi (30).

Expert Betting Tips

Wuhan Three Towns may be looking forward to regaining their position, but they will face a stern opposition that could jeopardize their hopes of clinging to the title this season, and while they may be bookmakers' favorites, it will be difficult to keep their opposition at bay, who has found the back of the net eight times in a row.

Zhejiang Professional are on the verge of finishing the season in third place, which in this case could turn out to be a dream come true. However, all of this comes at a high cost, as they are obligated not to drop any points further and, as such, will be expected to edge out a victory over their opponent which by the way won't be as easy as they anticipated it would be.

For the first selection, we like our chances of both teams scoring with the total going over, which should be enough to surface. In their last three meetings, "both teams to score, yes" has been a winning wager in all of their games, with the total going over too, which leads to the conclusion that this match will offer the same entertaining vibe once again.

• Both Teams To Score + Goals - Over 2.5 for 2.20
• CS - 3:1 for 10.00
• 1st Half - Both Teams To Score (Yes) for 4.10
