Wuhan Three Towns proved their mettle in their first ever appearance in the AFC Champions League as they salvaged a point against the current champions of the 42nd edition of Asia's premier club football tournament, Urawa Red Diamonds, after playing out a nail-biting 2-2 draw at home.

In the league, they got off to a positive start in their first match after the international break as they convincingly won 2-0 at home against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC courtesy of a Shihao Wei brace.

With this win, they extended their winning run in the league to three matches. It's also worth noting that they have lost one of their six matches across all competitions and will be eager to keep things as they are as they aim for a fourth consecutive victory.

They currently occupy 5th place with 42 points in the standings, with third-placed Shanghai Shenhua and fourth-placed Zhejiang Professional FC. Their bid for a first-place finish is hindered by a significant fourteen-point deficit.

Tianjin Teda

Form: WWLLD

Tianjin Teda, who lost 2-0 against Dalian Pro in the CFA Cup quarterfinals, is faced with yet another grim reality, which will see their trophy drought prolonged to thirteen years come the conclusion of the season.

Their most recent match was a 1-0 win against ten-man Dalian Pro at home to secure three points. This win extended their winning run in the league to two matches.

While they will be eager to extend their winning run to three matches, it will prove to be an arduous task as they are currently on a four-match losing run and are winless in five matches. They have failed to score in two consecutive matches and will most likely struggle once again in this encounter.

They currently occupy 8th place with 37 points in the standings and are three points ahead of ninth-placed Changchun Yatai FC. Their bid for a 7th-place finish is hindered by a three-point deficit.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1
