The South China Tigers recently faced Cangzhou Mighty Lions at home in a match where they displayed grit and a fighting spirit. It was unfortunate for them that they were held to a 3-3 draw, with their performance being one of their best thus far this season.

They have gained 9 points from their last 11 Super League home games, and while their performance against Cangzhou Mighty Lions was impressive from their perspective, their recent form has been erratic. They have won none of their last five games while losing three and drawing two giving them a 2 point total.

Presently placed in 17th place with 13 points, they are 3 points shy of climbing out of the relegation zone and would likely fancy their chances of walking away with three points against the visitors.

Formation: 5-4-1

J. Zhang (19); R. Hao (44), S. Wu (5), Z. Chenglin (43), W. Zhao (3), H. Fan (18); M. Cai (33), D. Yan (15), H. Bowen (9), H. Junmin (46); Y. Liyu (17).

The Green Giants have been exceeding expectations in the Super League over the past few weeks, and they have undoubtedly been a spectacle to watch both at home and on the road thanks to their intriguing performance. However, there have been some flaws and minor setbacks that have started to creep in, necessitating intervention.

While they had the honour of hosting Shenzhen FC at the Mission Hills Football Base Stadium, they were met with a discouraging 0-2 loss that saw them drop three points, ending their 14-match unbeaten run in the Super League, an impressive run from them to be exact as they had accrued 30 points in the process.

As they steadily hold down seventh place in the standings with 39 points, leaving behind a 1 point deficit against eighth-placed Chengdu Rongcheng, it is safe to say that their aspirations of finishing in third place are three points away from being realised.

They have only lost twice on the road in their last 13 away games, to Shandong Taishan (1:0) and Shanghai SIPG (3:1). Other than those two defeats, they have an average away record, and they are currently undefeated in eleven games, with four wins and seven draws for a total of 19 points.

Formation: 4-1-4-1

G. Chao (1); D. Yu (19), S. Zhengao (4), L. Nok Hang (2), Y. Xin (28); L. Wei (17); D. Ewolo (7), G. Do (9), F. Andrijasevic (11), C. Jin (22); N. Mushekwi (30).

Guangzhou Evergrande has won 12 of the last 16 meetings; Hangzhou Greentown has won twice; and there have been two draws with a goal difference of 35-14 in favour of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Guangzhou Evergrande surprised everyone by dispatching all of their firepower against Cangzhou Mighty Lions to score three goals. This was unexpected from a team that lacked the creativity to be an offensive team, as they had scored just two goals in their previous five games.

Hangzhou Greentown have been unfortunate recipients of setbacks, and getting back on track will be at the top of their priority list as they attempt to climb the standings, and what better opportunity to do so than at the expense of the hosts' inconsistent form?

Favorites with bookmakers Hangzhou Greentown are unquestionably odds-on to win, and there's no denying that rumour for a team trying to get back on track, as such an early victory for them in the first-half could be highly anticipated.
