vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Changchun Xidu arrive on an improving run over their last five outings: a 0-0 home draw against Guangdong Mingtu in the most recent round, preceded by a 2-1 away win at Hubei Chufeng Heli and another 2-1 home win against Dalian Kewei. Further back come a 2-2 away draw against BIT and, further back still, a 1-2 home defeat to Xi'an Ronghai. Guangzhou Dandelion, on the other hand, arrive with a poorer record: a 0-1 away defeat to Dalian Yingbo B in the most recent round, before that a 1-2 home defeat to Rizhao Yuqi and a 0-0 home draw against Guizhou Zhucheng. Further back come a 3-1 away win at Shangyu Pterosaur, their only success of the run, and further back still a 0-0 away draw against Xiamen Feilu. There is no head-to-head record between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
