Jiangsu is again on a two-game winning run, something that the team has done twice before in the eight-matchday-old season, and will be trying to extend it to three games against Shijiazhuang, who are struggling to find wins early in this term.

The Nanjing residents are coming off a 2-1 road win over capital city club Beijing Guoan FC last Sunday at the Workers' Stadium to snag their sixth win of the season, as reported by Shanghai Daily.

Croatian import Sammir scored the opening goal at the 14th minute while Beijing's Zhao Hejing equalized it ten minutes later with a strike off an assist by teammate Piao Cheng.

The Imperial Guards got a little bit of a break after Jiangsu winger Alex Teixeira was sent off following a second yellow card booking of the evening.

However, Dan Petrescu's boys will not be denied as they netted the winning goal at the 64th courtesy of local defender Li Ang.

Meanwhile, Shijiazhuang lost to Shanghai SIPG, 1-2, at their home field of Yutong International Sports Center also last Sunday, via Soccerway.

The hosts netted the first goal of the match at the 12th minute via a penalty kick by Guan Zhen, but it was all Ever Bright could produce as the Red Eagles scored the next two goals, from Dario Conca and Wu Lei at the 39th and 48th, to pull off the come-from-behind win,

Shijiazhuang is on a two-game losing slide as they settle at the 10th spot of the current league table.

The predicted result is a 2-0 victory for Jiangsu Suning.
