Shenzhen FC will be hoping to bring a dismal run of form to an end when they head to the Workers' Stadium to take on Beijing Guoan in the CSL on Saturday.

The hosts managed to claim a very good win over third-placed Chengdu Rongcheng last week, which saw them move up to seventh in the league standings, while the visitors lost 3-1 to Wuhan Three Towns, recording their fourth consecutive league loss.

We say: Beijing Guoan 2-1 Shenzhen

While Beijing Guoan have by no means been great this season, they have shown positive signs under their new management and look like a side that can improve. Against the side with the worst away record in the league here, we fancy Soares to pick up his first home win in charge in this one.

The defending CSL champions Wuhan Three Towns will play host to Changchun Yatai at the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium on Saturday.

Both sides moved up the table by securing 3-1 wins in their last match, with the hosts overtaking Zhejiang into eighth place while the visitors broke into the top five after Shangdong Taishan were held to a 1-1 draw against Shanghai Port.

We say: Wuhan Three Towns 3-2 Changchun Yatai

We saw five goals scored when these sides met in November last year, and based on their records since then, this looks set to be another high-scoring encounter. Despite their poor home record this season, the hosts do have a better defence, which is why we feel they may just edge this one.

Shanghai Port vs. Dalian Pro (Saturday, 12.35pm)

Two sides in contrasting ends of the Chinese Super League standings go head to head on Saturday when Shanghai Port and Dalian Pro lock horns at the Pudong Football Stadium.

While the Red Eagles head into the weekend looking to extend their five-point lead at the top of the league table, the visiting side are currently rooted to the bottom of the pile.

We say: Shanghai Port 3-1 Dalian Pro

While Dalian Pro set out in search of a morale-boosting victory, they face the stern challenge of facing a Shanghai Port side who have lost just one game this season. Pereira's men have enjoyed the better of this fixture and we are backing them to extend their dominance over the Blue Hawks.
