The game starts at 3:30 p.m. UTC+8. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Guangzhou R&F is at the eighth spot of the 16-team China top flight table with five games remaining in their campaign this term. They are basically in the middle of the pack, comfortably ten points above the relegation area and nine points below the top three AFC Champions League berth next season, but head coach Dragan Stojković certainly wants to end the season on a high note.
The Blue Lions are coming off a stunning 1-3 loss to bottom two squad Changchun Yatai last Friday on the road at the Development Area Stadium to snap their two-game unbeaten run, as per Xinhuanet.
Meanwhile, Henan Jianye is in a similar situation with R&F as they had dropped to sixth place in the overall standings from being in the top four in the first few weeks of the season.
The team is now only a point ahead of Guangzhou as head coach Jia Xiuquan also aims to make the most of the remaining games of the current season.
Henan nipped another struggling powerhouse, Shandong Luneng, 2-1, at their home field of Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium last Sunday to pull off a second win in their last three assignments, via Sofa Score.
The Red Devils are the slight favorites to win over the Blue Lions in this encounter as Coach Jia's boys are riding on the momentum of their recent wins.
Prediction and Predicted Lineup
The predicted result is a 1-0 win for Henan Jianye.
Guangzhou R&F starting lineup (5-4-1 formation): Cheng; Tang, Yu, Svensson, Jang, Jiang; Renatinho, Wang, Lu, Zeng; Zahavi
Henan Jianye starting lineup (5-3-2 formation): Wu; Yang, McGowan, Samardzic, Li, Ablet; Yin, Feng, Ivo; Patiño, Chen
