After topping the table in the second-tier league last season, finishing first with 79 points to achieve promotion to the Super League, it's safe to say it was the right decision to make as they have portrayed themselves as a dominant team as they are enjoying a good season in the Super League.

With some bumps along the way, they have picked themselves up to forge ahead, with their most recent encounter against high-flying Beijing Guoan seeing them end the Imperial Guards' unbeaten run with a 0-2 road victory, with goals from Deng Hanwen and Ademilson adding to that achievement.

They have won two games in a row and have only lost one of their last five games, which came at home against Chengdu Rongcheng. Iminqari's goal in the 25th minute of the first half was the cause of their 0-1 loss. They have accrued a total of 12 points throughout the course of their last five games.

They are still in first place with 59 points in the rankings and are literally hanging on by a thread. This is because they have attracted the attention of Shandong Taishan, who are in second place and with whom they are tied in points.

Formation: 3-4-3

D. Liu (22); R. Hang (23), Y. Liu (18), Wallace (3); G. Zhunyi (20), N. Stanciu (43), H. Chao (21), D. Hanwen (25); Davidson (11), Ademilson (7), X. Pengfei (30).

The Red Devils are surely not boasting with confidence at this point as they were unable to hold onto their two-goal lead against Meizhou Hakka on the road. Instead, things took a sharp turn in the second half when they gave up three goals in a span of 23 minutes to suffer a 3-2 road loss.

While they did have a history of being a force to be reckoned with—they once had a three-match winning streak—their bad luck started when Beijing Guoan ended their streak by defeating them 2-0. Since then, they have suffered their second straight loss, both of which have occurred on the road.

Their performance has been steady, and it appears that manager Javier Pereira's strategies have been quite successful in the team's last five games alone, with only two losses and three wins totalling a total of 9 points. However, now that their stuttering performance is beginning to stand out, it's only a matter of time before his team reaches rock bottom.

Thanks to their offensive style of play, which is the only thing separating them in terms of goal differential, they are currently in sixth place with 40 points, level on points with Beijing Guoan, who are in seventh place. In their bid for a fourth-place finish, they are only three points away.

Formation: 4-4-2

W. Guoming (19); F. Boxuan (20), S. Yang (3), G. Cao (5), K. Chen (21); A. Mierzejewski (10), T. Pina (17), W. Shangyuan (6), F. Karanga (7); Y. Zhang (29), G. Carrillo (25)

• Henan Jianye has scored at least one goal in five consecutive Super League matches.
• Wuhan Three Towns have failed to score in one of their last 13 Super League home matches.
• Wuhan Three Towns scores 3.3 goals on average at home, while Henan Jianye scores 0.93 goals on average away.

This will be their first Super League meeting.

Henan Jianye has been efficient in front of goal, scoring in five of their previous five games. This should be more than enough to make them a serious threat in this game and could ultimately lead to them edging a surprise victory over table-toppers Wuhan Three Towns, who have shown signs of weakness at the back.

Wuhan Three Towns have ceded their hegemony and have been successful thus far. And they are currently defying expectations, as they have been on a roll this season for a team that managed to hold reigning champions Shandong Taishan to a 1-1 draw. It's not too much to expect them to eke out a victory over Henan Jianye, who might not be in the best mood following their loss, but they should be able to do so.

In a double-chance market with the option to score more than two goals, Wuhan Three Towns or a draw is the favorable outcome. The hosts have been remarkable in terms of their impressive assault, and as a result, we don't expect them to stop anytime soon for a club that averages 3.3 goals while playing at home.

• Henan Jianye Corners - Over 2.5 for 1.83
• Both Teams To Score (Yes) for 1.88
