While the table currently reflects Wuhan Yangtze River (not to be confused with CSL leaders, Wuhan Three Towns), the team have recently had points deducted by the league.

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger are eighth in the standings ahead of the midweek fixture. Tiger are unbeaten in six straight games with 14 points from 18 points on offer.
Tianjin did not score many goals across their last six games, with just eight tallied. The defence allowed a mere four goals.

River lost four of their last six games, as they took just four points from the last 18 on offer. Goals were hard to score as a mere four were tallied. Meanwhile, the team conceded 14 times.
Three of Wuhan’s last six games saw them fail to score a goal. The CSL saw 50% of its games end with both teams not scoring after 30 rounds. Forty-five per cent of games finished with under 2.5 goals.
River have the second-worst defence in the league with 61 goals allowed for an average of 2.03 goals conceded per game.
The good news for Wuhan is history is on their side. The home team is unbeaten in the last six games between these clubs. However, River failed to win 10 of their 11 home matches this season.
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger saw under 2.5 goals in their last four games in the CSL. Tiger have a home record of 6W-3D-5L this season and a goal difference of zero while playing on the road.
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger should post a seventh road win this season in the CSL. It could doom Wuhan Yangtze River to relegation, as the CSL goes into the final four matches. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger should win 2-0 at full-time.
