Cangzhou Mighty Lions vs Guangzhou City Prediction
The visitors have an extremely expansive style of play that sees them score as many goals as they concede. However, Cangzhou's limitations in attack mean that they might not take advantage of the opportunities presented to them.
Guangzhou City have been highly inconsistent this season and they are just as capable of spectacular results as they are of tame displays. However, they have enough quality to edge this game.
Prediction: Cangzhou Mighty Lions 0-2 Guangzhou City
