The Chinese Super League continues this week and will see Hebei host Guangzhou City on Wednesday.
Hebei's poor form after the restart continued on Sunday. They were beaten 3-0 by Shenzhen away from home, marking a third winless game which has seen them score just once and concede nine times.
Hebei sit at bottom of the championship round table with 24 points from 27 games. They will look to pick up their first win since the restart when they play on Wednesday.
Guangzhou City picked up a professional 5-0 win over Beijing Guoan in their last league outing. The game, which had four different goalscorers, saw the visitors score with all five of their attempts on target.
Guangzhou City are level on points with their midweek hosts but sit a place higher in the table owing to their superior goal difference. They will look to build on their latest result when they face Hebei later this week.
Hebei vs Guangzhou City Head-to-Head
There have been exactly 10 meetings between Hebei and Guangzhou City. Both teams have won three games apiece while the other four games have ended in draws.

Hebei vs Guangzhou City Prediction
Hebei are winless since league football resumed earlier this month. The visitors' major struggle has been in the attacking department, as they have scored just 13 goals in 17 games so far.
Guangzhou City picked up a comfortable win last time out, ending a run of back-to-back defeats and back-to-back games without a goal. They have conceded 24 goals so far - the most in the championship round - and will look to sort that out soon. The visitors should, however, pick up all three points.
Prediction: Hebei 1-2 Guangzhou City
