Guangzhou FC host Wuhan Yangtze at the Puwan Stadium in the Chinese Super League on Saturday, with both sides having had contrasting starts to their seasons.
Guangzhou are currently bottom of the table having lost both their opening fixtures. Zhiyu Liu's side have been in woeful form of late, having lost their last eight games across all competitions. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Wuhan Yangtze on Saturday.
Wuhan Yangtze, on the other hand, are currently fourth in the league, tied on points with Wuhan Three Towns at the top of the table. Jinyu Li's side have been in inconsistent form of late, having won two of their last five games across all competitions. They will look to potentially climb up the table with a win against Guangzhou on Saturday.
Both sides will be looking to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting contest.
