Changchun Yatai is currently at the 14th spot of the 16-team China top flight table, only a point above the bottom two relegation area. They had been winless in 11 of their first 13 matches for the season and if not for a surprising two-game winning run, manager Lee Jang-soo's squad would have been in the bottom of the standings.

They are back to being winless, though, after the short winning streak, putting up a loss and a draw in their last two assignments.

Changchun settled to a 1-1 draw with contending squad Shanghai SIPG FC on the road at the Shanghai Stadium on Wednesday, via Sofa Score, which is actually a good sign for Lee.

The Red Eagles are in the top four as of the moment and pulling off a draw against them is a feat for the struggling club.

Meanwhile, Liaoning Whowin is also struggling at 13th place in the standings, just a point above Changchun.

The team in ten of their first 12 games in the CSL this term, but their 3-2 victory over Chongqing Lifan at the West Stadium on June 10 snapped their ten-game winless slide in the domestic competitions, as per Soccerway.

Head coach Ma Lin will look to build on the momentum of their previous match to try and go for a second consecutive win against Changchun, but it would be easily said than done as their long layoff may make them rusty coming back.

The predicted result is a close 1-0 decision for Changchun Yatai.

Changchun Yatai starting lineup (5-4-1 formation): Wu; Jiang, Sun, Matic, Yaki, Fan; Cheng, Gorius, Li, Du; Moreno

Liaoning Whowin starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Shi; Wang, Yang, Lukimya, Zheng; Hu, Ni, Sun, Jin; Touré, Chamanga
