Beijing Guoan will face Cangzhou Mighty Lions on Saturday – Chinese Super League
The Chinese Super League campaign continues this week and will see the Cangzhou Mighty Lions host Beijing Guoan at the Cangzhou Stadium on Saturday morning.
The Cangzhou Mighty Lions have had a rather sluggish start to the season, falling off the pace after their opening day win. They were beaten 2-0 by Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in their last game, failing to find their way back into the game after conceding a quickfire double early in the first half.
The hosts sit 14th on the league table with five points from five games and will now be looking to return to winning ways this weekend.
Contrastingly, the Guoan have bounced back superbly after losing their first league game of the campaign. They picked up a clinical 4-1 win over Shenzhen last time out with three different players getting on the scoresheet, including China international Yuning Zhang, who clinched a brace.
The Imperial Guards have picked up 10 points from an obtainable 15 this season and sit fifth on the league table. They will now be looking to build on their latest result Saturday.

Cangzhou Mighty Lions vs Beijing Guoan Prediction
The Cangzhou Mighty Lions are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are winless in their last four games. They are winless on home turf this season and could struggle here.
The Guoan, on the other hand, are undefeated in their last four games, scoring 10 goals in that period. The Imperial Guards are in much better form than their hosts and should come out on top on Saturday.
Prediction: Cangzhou Mighty Lions 0-2 Beijing Guoan
