The game would start at 7:35 p.m. UTC+8. It can be viewed live online through FuboTV.

Hangzhou Greentown has been struggling all season and is at risk of getting relegated to the second division next season.

The Green Giants are in 14th place in the 16-team league table of China's top-flight football. The Hangzhou team is only three points above the bottom two relegation area presently occupied by Changchun Yatai and Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, with only five games left in their 2016 campaign.

Hangzhou Greentown is on a three-game winless streak. The team lost 1-2 to Shanghai SIPG on their home field last Sunday.

Brazilian forward Anselmo Ramon was the lone scorer for Hangzhou. He scored a consolation penalty kick in stoppage time against the Hulk-led SIPG squad.

Meanwhile, Jiangsu Suning toppled Tianjin Teda 2-0 at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre last Saturday.

Xie Pengfei and Alex Teixeira provided the two goals for head coach Choi Yong-soo's team at the 13th and 61st minutes respectively to extend their winning run to four games.

Jiangsu is breathing down the necks of defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande as they are only six points behind with still five rounds left in the season.

The predicted result is a 3-0 victory for Jiangsu Suning.

Hangzhou Greentown starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Zou; Chen P., Spiranovic, Chen X., Cao; Zhao, Huang; Gabionetta, Sammir, Cheng; Ramon

Jiangsu Suning starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Gu; Zhang, Sainsbury, Zhou, Yang; Ramires, Wu; Ji, Teixeira, Xie; Martinez
