On Sunday morning, Chinese Super League leaders Wuhan Three Towns host struggling Hebei at the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium.
Pedro Morilla’s team are top of the Chinese Super League above second-place Shanghai Shenhua only courtesy of a superior goal difference. They have won four of their opening five league matches. The newly-promoted team in their debut Super League campaign have taken their good form last season into the new campaign.

One of the most impressive aspects of their play has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in all four of their league wins this season. Brazilian pair Marcao and Davidson have scored four and three league goals respectively this season.
Wuhan Three Towns have won both their league matches on home soil, beating Guangzhou and Shanghai Port, scoring at least two goals in both of the victories.
Where the home team has made a superb start to their league campaign, Hebei could not have made a worst start to their season in the Chinese Super League. Kim Jong-Boo’s team have lost all five outings so far in the top-flight, last time out suffering a 1-0 defeat against Guangzhou.
The defeat means that Hebei has failed to win any of their last 14 games in the Chinese Super League, suffering a nine-game losing streak dating back to November.
Hebei’s biggest problem in the league this season and at the end of the last campaign has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in six of their previous nine league matches.
The visitors have also struggled for away wins in the top-flight, as they have failed to win in their last 11 league games in the Chinese Super League.
Forebet predicts that Wuhan Three Towns will record a big victory in a high-scoring encounter.
