Hebei FC take on Wuhan Yangtze at the Puwan Stadium in the Chinese Super League on Thursday, with both sides having had contrasting seasons so far.
Hebei FC are currently 17th in the league, having yet to secure a single point this campaign. Jong-boo Kim's side have been in woeful form recently and are winless in their last 16 games across all competitions. They will hope to kickstart their season with a win against Wuhan Yangtze this week.
Wuhan Yangtze, on the other hand, are currently 13th in the table, six points off the top three. Jinyu Li's side have faltered of late, having lost their last three games in a row. They will look to bounce back with a win against Hebei on Thursday.
