The attention turns to Group B tomorrow as Wuhan Zall continue their bid for a top spot in a crucial game against Hebei CFFC at the Kunshan Stadium.
Wuhan are currently in third place after their opening five matches, courtesy of three wins that have come in an alternating pattern. They know it's tight at the summit with neither Beijing Guoan nor Shanghai SIPG willing to surrender their unbeaten run, and hence, a victory is what they desperately need.
More so, it's the consistency Wuhan must acquire if they are to challenge the heavyweights. A comfortable 2-0 win over Chongqing Lifan last time out must have boosted their morale, but a string of victories is the need of the hour.
While it's imperative for Wuhan to not drop their shoulders in the coming games, Hebei will aim to capitalise on their first win of the season. After two losses and as many draws, they finally got off the mark with a commanding win over Tianjin Teda.
Keeping Wuhan's fearsome attacking unit out holds key to the result, as Hebei have conceded at least two goals in their last three home games against the same opposition.
Without further delay then, let's bring you all you need to know ahead of Wuhan Zall's Chinese Super League trip to Hebei CFFC.
