Hangzhou is currently settled at the 12th spot of the China top flight table as it lost its previous two matches and had been winless in last five outings after winning two of their first three games of the season.

The Green Giants were nipped by defending champions and current league leaders Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao FC, 1-2, also at their home field of Yellow Dragon Sports Centre Stadium last Sunday, as reported by CCTV.

Guangzhou's two Brazilian imports, Alan Carvalho and Ricardo Goulart, netted one goal each to complete the Southern China Tigers' two-goal haul in the contest at the seventh and 31st minutes respectively.

Head coach Hong Myung-bo's men tried to fight back in the second half of play, but they were only able to respond with one goal, from Australian forward Tim Cahill, at the 76th minute as Guangzhou's defense held on to the finish.

Meanwhile, Liaoning Whowin settled for a goalless tie with middling team Shanghai Greentown Shenhua FC at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium last Saturday, via Soccerway.

The tie was the Northeast Tigers' seventh straight winless performance after winning their season-opener against Shijiazhuang Ever Bright in March.

Liaoning is at the 14th spot of the 16-man CSL table, only a point above the bottom two relegation area presently occupied by Beijing Guoan and Changchun Yatai as the league reached its quarter-mark of competitions for this term.

The predicted result is a 1-0 win for Hangzhou Greentown.

Hangzhou Greentown starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Zhang; Ge, Zhao, Spiranovic, Cao; Chen P., Chen Z., Feng, Gabionetta; Cahill, Angan

Liaoning Whowin starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Shi; Wang, Yang, Lukimya, Zheng; Lei, Thwaite, Sun, Kim; Touré, Chamanga
