The Chinese Super League is back in action tomorrow as a strong Guangzhou Evergrande side takes on fifth-placed Henan Jianye FC at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium in Henan. Both teams have fielded strong line-ups in the Chinese Super League so far and will look to pick up an important victory tomorrow.

Henan Jianye is currently in fifth place in the Chinese Super League table and can make use of its potent and in-form attacking combination to put Guangzhou under early pressure. Henan Jianye has not had the best of results over the past few weeks and will look to get back to winning ways in its own backyard.

Guangzhou Evergrande's stunning start to the Chinese Super League campaign was soured by a 1-0 defeat to Shandong Luneng last week. The Chinese giants will want to set the record straight and score plenty of goals against Henan Jianye at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium.

Henan Jianye FC vs Guangzhou Evergrande Prediction

Henan Jianye faces an uphill task against a Guangzhou Evergrande outfit that has several talented players across the pitch. The Brazilian flair of Talisca and Paulinho can be a massive threat and Henan Jianye will have to be on guard against the away side's attacking threats.

Wei Shihao has been in exceptional form in the Chinese Super League this season and has already scored four goals in his first four games. With the Chinese striker in excellent form, Henan Jianye is unlikely to come away with three points from this fixture.

Prediction: Henan Jianye 1-3 Guangzhou Evergrande
