After 18 rounds, Meizhou Hakka FC is positioned in a precarious position, sitting in 15th place within the relegation zone with 13 points accumulated. They are level on points with the bottom-placed Qingdao West Coast (16th place) and are one point adrift of safety. 

Approaching this match, Meizhou Hakka are currently on a four-match losing streak, scoring once during this run, which comes as no surprise as they boast the league's least effective offense with 11 goals scored thus far. In the previous round, they succumbed to a convincing 4-0 defeat against Zhejiang Professional FC away from home.

Form: LWDLL

After 18 rounds, Nantong Zhiyun FC sits in 14th place with 14 points accumulated from 3 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses. They have distanced themselves from the relegation zone but are not out of the woods yet, as they are one mere point ahead of the relegation zone. 

Approaching this match, Nantong Zhiyun have won one of their last ten league matches (L6, D3), indicating a side that has been plagued with inconsistency. In the previous round, they lost 1-0 to Chengdu Rongcheng FC at home. This result thwarted their chances of extending their unbeaten run to three matches. 

• Meizhou Hakka FC have gone five matches without a win in the Super League.
• Nantong Zhiyun FC have won one of their last five away matches in the Super League.
• Meizhou Hakka FC averages 0.5 goals per game when playing at home, and Nantong Zhiyun FC averages 1.44 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 7 meetings, Meizhou Hakka FC has won 3 times, Nantong Zhiyun FC has won 2 times, and there have been 2 draws, with the goal difference being 9-8 in favor of Nantong Zhiyun FC. 

Meizhou Hakka FC come into this match in poor form and will be aiming to redeem themselves in front of their fans, where they've failed to meet expectations by goingten matches without a win (L5, D5). 

Nantong Zhiyun FC, on the other hand, will be aiming to return to winning ways. Having halted a three-match winless run on the road by defeating Wuhan Three Towns 2-1, they'll be aiming to capitalize on this momentum to secure a favorable outcome.

Considering that this could turn out to be a tight affair between two sides in poor form in the league, we anticipate the total to go under 2.5 goals, as this has been the case in four of their last seven encounters.
