Wuhan Three Towns (home)
- Wuhan Three Towns have been struggling to replicate the quality that saw them lift the Chinese Super League championship a few seasons ago, but Benjamin Mora’s side has shown plenty of grit and attacking flair in the opening weeks of the 2026 season.
- With 4 points from 11 matches, the hosts have recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 matches, including a 2-2 away draw at Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, a 1-3 home loss to Qingdao Hainiu, and a 1-1 away draw with Qingdao West Coast.
- Mora brings tactical versatility to the team, allowing his side to play a high-risk, pressing game that transitions quickly and features plenty of balls into the box on set pieces.
Liaoning Tieren FC (away)
- Liaoning Tieren FC are on a 5-game losing streak, including defeats on their last 2 away trips.
- Jinyu Li’s tenure as Liaoning Tieren FC manager has focused on instilling a sense of structure in the team, with the 4-2-3-1 formation, which they play with a double pivot to provide some stability in the centre of the pitch, allowing the full backs to push on in possession.
- Li’s side sits 13th with 7 points from 11, 3 points more than their opponents on Saturday, but have won none of their 6 away league games, taking just 1 point and scoring 2 goals.
- A lack of attacking flair has left Li with few options, but with 3 league goals in 11 appearances, Guy Mbenza does at least provide a spark for the visitors in the final third.

- Jhonder Cadiz has scored 7 goals in 11 league appearances for Wuhan Three Towns.
- He has netted 4 of their last 6 goals.
Guy Mbenza
Guy Mbenza has 3 league goals in 11 appearances for Liaoning Tieren FC.
