Lowly squad Liaoning Whowin FC (1-3-3, 6 points) is scheduled to meet with contending team Shanghai Greenland Shenhua FC (2-2-3, 9 points) on Saturday, May 7th at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium as the 2016 Chinese Super League season continues.

Liaoning Whowin is on a downward spiral lately as they had been winless in their last six games after their season-opening win over Shijiazhuang Ever Bright in March.

Head coach Ma Lin's side had been through three losses and three draws since that 1-0 decision versus Ever Bright, which dropped them to the 14th place of the league table, only a point away from the bottom two relegation area.

In their most recent game, Liaoning was trounced by newly-promoted squad Hebei China Fortune FC last Saturday also at their home ground of Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium, as per Soccerway.

Hebei forwards Jiang Ning and Dong Xuesheng scored one goal apiece for the Samba Kings at the 24th and 71st minutes while Liaoning continues to struggle on offense as the team was shut out for the third time in four games.

Meanwhile, Shanghai Shenhua suffered a disappointing 1-2 defeat in the hands of defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao FC at the Tianhe Stadium also last Saturday, as reported by Daily Mail Online.

Guangzhou's Brazilian winger Alan Carvalho opened the scoring at the 40th minute of the match to give the Southern China Tigers the lead at the halftime break.

Shanghai managed to equalize the count at the 69th with a goal from former Newcastle United and Chelsea striker Demba Ba, but Alan netted his second goal of the evening two minutes later to steal the three points away from the visitors.

Manager Gregorio Manzano's boys, who are currently at the sixth spot of the league table, will look to redeem themselves and get back to their winning form in this match against the struggling Northeast Tigers.

The predicted result is a 2-1 victory for Shanghai Shenhua.
