vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Xi'an Ronghai and Guizhou Zhucheng have no league table to draw on, in a knockout stage of League Two. Xi'an Ronghai's last five outings open with a 0-0 at home to Rizhao Yuqi; before that a 0-1 defeat away at Qingdao Red Lions, and further back three straight good results: a 2-1 win away at Changchun Xidu, a 1-0 win away at Shanghai Port II and, further back still, a 2-0 home win over BIT. Guizhou Zhucheng arrive on the back of a 0-1 defeat to Dalian Kewei; before that two goalless draws, away at Guangzhou Dandelion and against Chengdu Rongcheng II, and further back a 3-4 defeat away at Langfang Glory City, with a 2-0 win away at Yichun Grand Tiger further back still. There is no head-to-head history 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.
