Hebei China Fortune has been winless in eight of their last nine assignments which included a five-game losing streak. Their slide dropped them from the second spot of the China top flight table to the fifth spot they are currently on.

The gap between them and the league leaders Guangzhou Evergrande have now increased to 15 points even as the defending champions are also in a rut of their own as of the moment.

The Samba Kings lost a disappointing 0-1 decision to fellow reeling contender Henan Jianye on the road at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium in the last round on Aug. 21 for their third straight winless performance, as per Football Australia.

Henan Jianye's local striker Chen Hao netted the lone goal of the contest at the 78th minute to give the Samba Kings another defeat after two consecutive drawn matches.

Meanwhile, Guangzhou Evergrande suffered their third straight winless game, a rarity this season, as they were held to a goalless draw by lowly squad Hangzhou Greentown at their own home field of Tianhe Stadium on Aug. 20, via Soccerway.

This is now the longest winless slide of head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's side as they attempt to extend their CSL championship reign to six years with only seven games left in their season's campaign.

Hebei is going to feature a new manager in this match with former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini replacing Li Tie on Aug. 27.

Guangzhou's starting goalkeeper Zeng Cheng is doubtful to appear in the game after suffering a leg injury in China PR's World Cup qualifying match against Iran last Tuesday.
