Chongqing's only win of the tournament had so far come from their opening day victory over defending champions and current league leaders Guangzhou Evergrande back in March. After that, they had accumulated five losses and six draws so far for an 11-game winless run in the first division domestic competitions.
Manager Chang Woe-ryong's side is coming off a heartbreaking 2-3 defeat to previously cellar dwellers Liaoning Whowin FC at the West Stadium last Friday, via Soccerway.
The team got the lead, 2-1, when imports Fernandinho and Emanuel Gigliotti scored consecutive goals at the 22nd and 53rd minutes after Liaoning midfielder Jin Taiyan's opener at the sixth.
However, the Northeast Tigers were able to come-from-behind with two straight strikes from forwards James Chamanga and Zhang Ye at the 62nd and 64th minutes to hand Chongqing their third straight loss.
Meanwhile, Hangzhou Greentown succumbed to its ninth straight winless performance as they dropped a 0-1 decision against Guangzhou R&F at their home field of Yellow Dragon Sports Center last Saturday, as per Goal.
Brazilian import Renatinho scored the lone goal for the visitors to hand the Green Giants their sixth loss of the season.
With imports Tim Cahill, Denilson Gabionetta, and Davy Claude Angan all available, manager Hong Myung-bo's squad is projected to prevail against Chongqing.
The predicted result is a 1-0 victory for Hangzhou Greentown.
Chongqing Lifan starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Deng; Ding, Sui, Liu, Xu; Peng, Jung; Fernandinho, Wang, Jael; Gigliotti
