In Chinese Super League action next week, Chengdu Rongcheng will host Cangzhou Mighty Lions at the Shuangliu Sports Centre on Monday afternoon.
The hosts have begun their league campaign in poor form and are one of two teams in the division without a win this season. They played out a goalless draw against Beijing Guoan last time out, failing to create any noteworthy chances to pick up all three points.
Chengdu sit 15th in the league table with just five points from seven games. They are just two points above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap next week.
Cangzhou, meanwhile, kicked off their league season with a 2-1 win over Beijing Guoan but have fallen off the pace since then. They were beaten 4-1 by Meizhou Hakka in their last game, marking their second straight away defeat.
The away side sit a place and a point above their opponents in the league table and will look to return to winning ways .
