Middling squads Guangzhou R&F FC (4-6-3, 15 points) and Beijing Guoan FC (4-4-4, 16 points) are scheduled to meet at the Yuexiushan Stadium on Sunday, June 19 as they both look to climb the 2016 Chinese Super League table.
Guangzhou R&F is reeling at the moment as they had been winless in four of their last five matches. The team's offense is noticeably struggling as they only scored three goals in the said time span and were shut out twice in three consecutive losses from rounds 9 to 11.

Currently, they are at the ninth spot of the 16-team China top flight table, six points above the bottom two relegation zone and 11 points behind the third and last Champions League qualification berth held by Jiangsu Suning.
The Blue Lions are coming off an impressive 1-1 tie with powerhouse Jiangsu, though, on the road at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre on Wednesday to indicate that their struggles may finally be over, Xinhuanet reported.
Head coach Dragan Stojković's men were the aggressors in the match as they finally netted the opening goal at the 75th minute, courtesy of Australian striker Apostolos Giannou. However, Jiangsu salvaged a draw as Brazilian winger Alex Teixeira scored the equalizer four minutes later.
Meanwhile, Beijing Guoan has finally gotten back into its groove with new manager Xie Feng, winning two straight games and going on a three-game unbeaten run after former coach Alberto Zaccheroni was sacked three weeks ago.
The capital city team pulled off a 2-0 victory over Changchun Yatai at the Workers' Stadium last Sunday as they also scored a second consecutive clean sheet performance, as per Soccerway.
Winger Zhang Xizhe and striker Yu Dabao provided the goals for the Imperial Guards during the contest.
The predicted result is a tough 1-0 victory for Beijing Guoan for their third straight win.
Guangzhou R&F starting lineup (5-3-2 formation): Cheng; Lu, Jang, Svensson, Yu, Zhang; Chen, Wang, Renatinho; Xiao, Giannou
