vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Guizhou Zhucheng arrive on a difficult run over their last five outings: a 0-1 away defeat to Xi'an Ronghai in the most recent round, preceded by another 0-1 home defeat to Dalian Kewei. Further back come a 0-0 away draw against Guangzhou Dandelion and a 0-0 home draw against Chengdu Rongcheng II, and further back still a 3-4 away defeat to Langfang Glory City: no wins in the run. Shanghai Port II, on the other hand, arrive in markedly better shape: a 2-0 away win at Langfang Glory City in the most recent round, preceded by a 1-0 home win against Jiangxi Liansheng and a 2-0 home win against Qingdao Red Lions. Further back come a 0-1 away defeat to Rizhao Yuqi and, further back still, a 1-3 home defeat to Shandong Taishan II. 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.
