Jiangsu lost for the first time in this term as they were nipped by contending squad Tianjin Teda FC, 0-1, on the road at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium last Saturday during the 10th round of the CSL competitions, via Sofa Score.
Senegalese forward Mbaye Diagne provided the lone goal of the contest at the 24th minute for the hosts off an assist by midfielder Guo Hao as head coach Dan Petrescu's squad dropped their first game of the season.
Even with the loss, the Nanjing residents remained in the second spot of the league table. They now trail the defending champions and league leaders Guangzhou Evergrande by six points in the overall standings while they are ahead by only a single point over third-placed team Shanghai SIPG.
Meanwhile, Hangzhou Greentown is reeling at the moment as they suffered their seventh consecutive winless game in a 0-1 loss to contending squad Shanghai SIPG at the Shanghai Stadium also last Saturday, as per Soccerway.
Ivorian forward Jean Evrard Kouassi netted the winning shot for the Red Eagles ten minutes into the second half of the match via a brilliant cross by Argentine midfielder Dario Conca.
It was the third loss in four games for head coach Hong Myung-bo's side as they dropped to the 14th spot of the 16-team league table. They are tied on points with Liaoning Whowin, who is in the bottom two relegation zone, but their goal difference of -5 is superior than that of the Northeast Tigers' -9.
The predicted result is a 2-0 bounce back win for Jiangsu Suning.
Jiangsu Suning starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Gu; Zhou, Sainsbury, Li, Ren; Zhang, Ramires; Ji, Wu, Teixeira; Jô
Hangzhou Greentown starting lineup (4-5-1 formation): Zhang; Ge, Chen X., Oh, Cao; Chen P., Feng, Huang, Cahill, Gabionetta; Angan
