Shijiazhuang has only won once in their last eight games which led them to drop to 15th place in the 16-team Chinese first division league table. With nine games left in their current campaign, the team is in danger of getting relegated to the second division next year if they don't string a few wins from here on.

Ever Bright held reeling contenders Hebei China Fortune to a 1-1 draw on July 31 also at their home ground in Yutong to add a point in the overall standings for head coach Li Jinyu's side, as per Soccerway.

Samba Kings import Aloisio netted the opening goal at the 50th minute after a scoreless first half before Shijiazhuang's new signing Matheus knotted the count at the 79th.

Meanwhile, Tianjin Teda has been on a downward spiral being winless in their last eight China top flight outings. The team's last win was back in June, a 1-0 game over Yanbian Funde.

The Tianjin Tigers are coming off a 2-2 draw with Liaoning Whowin in their most recent CSL match held at their home field of Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium on July 31, via Xinhuanet.

Local midfielder Hu Rentian netted a brace to lead the hosts, but Liaoning striker James Chamanga cancelled his efforts with a double of his own to salvage the draw.

Tianjin will feature new head coach Jaime Pacheco in this match after he recently replaced sacked manager Dragan Okuka.

The predicted result is a close 1-0 decision for Tianjin Teda.

Shijiazhuang Ever Bright starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Guan; Feng, Xu, Li C., Mi; Matheus, Li C.Y., Li T., Mao; Micael; Mauricio
