Shenzhen and Cangzhou Mighty Lions will trade tackles in a matchday six fixture in the Chinese Super League on Sunday.
The Group A clash pits third against the bottom-placed team, with Shenzhen the better-positioned side on eight points. Cangzhou have just three points from five matches and need to start picking up the pace if they are to avoid suffering a relegation.
The 'hosts' come into the game on the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw with Shandong Taishan in a top-of-the-table clash in mid-May.
Marouane Fellaini and Dai Wai-Tsun were the stars of the show with braces each to ensure that the points were shared.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions also played out a draw with Guangzhou City in a largely forgetable goalless encounter over two months ago.
Shenzhen vs Cangzhou Mighty Lions Head-to-Head
This will be the 13th meeting between the sides and Cangzhou Mighty Lions have a better record in previous matches played.
The Hebei outfit have five wins to their name, while Shenzhen FC were victorious on three previous occasions. The two sides shared the spoils on four occasions.
Their most recent meeting came in the relegation playoffs last season when Shenzhen FC picked up a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions have struggled to get going this term and another relegation dogfight is a real possibility as they are yet to pick up a win this season. Shenzhen have won two of their five league matches so far.
