Meizhou Hakka FC

Form: DDLLD

Meizhou Hakka are one of the two sides alongside Henan FC yet to register a win this season. In their most recent match against Tianjin Teda away from home, they managed to clinch a crucial point as they played out a goalless draw. 

In light of this result, they saw their winless run in the league extend to six matches (L3, D3). They have failed to score in three consecutive matches, which comes as no surprise considering they are the second-worst offensive side in the league with three goals scored thus far. 

With three points accumulated from six matches, Meizhou Hakka FC currently occupies the 15th spot within the relegation zone in the Chinese Super League standings and is one point adrift of safety.
