The Chinese Super League returns to action on Tuesday as the two bottom sides of Group A lock horns in a crucial fixture at the Yuexiushan Stadium in Guangzhou. Both Henan Jianye and Guangzhou R&F have struggled in the Chinese Super League this season and will be desperate to return to winning ways next week.
Henan Jianye are currently rooted to the bottom of the Chinese Super League table and have lost four of their last five games in the competition. The away side suffered a devastating 4-0 defeat to 10-man Dalian Pro earlier this week and have struggled to cope with the demands of the Chinese Super League this season.
Guangzhou R&F have a worse defensive record than Henan Jianye and have conceded 22 goals in their nine games so far this season. The Guangzhou-based team gave a good account of themselves against local rivals Guangzhou Evergrande last week and have a slight upper hand in this game.

Guangzhou R&F have lost their way in the Chinese Super League over the past couple of weeks and this game against Henan Jianye presents the team with the perfect opportunity to pick up three much-needed points.
The first order of business for Henan Jianye would be to get its defensive setup back in order. The away team have managed only one victory in the Chinese Super League so far and need to be at its absolute best to take something away from this game.
