Prediction Stats
Fulltime Result Probability
Both Teams To Score Probability
Over/Under 2.5 Probability
Wuhan Three Towns come into this with the better recent results and the stronger attacking output in the supplied league table, while Liaoning Tieren FC have lost five in a row and have struggled to score. Wuhan Three Towns have also shown they can get on the front foot at home, with a 2-0 win over Zhejiang and a 1-3 defeat to Qingdao Hainiu in their last two home league games. Liaoning Tieren FC’s recent away losses include 0-4 at Henan Songshan Longmen and 0-1 at Shenzhen Peng City, which suggests they may need to stay compact and rely on moments rather than control.
The predicted line-ups point to Wuhan Three Towns using their usual 4-3-3, which should give them width and enough numbers around the box to test a Liaoning back three. Liaoning Tieren FC’s 3-4-3 can still create threat through Ange Samuel and the wide runners, but their recent results suggest they may spend long spells under pressure. With no injuries reported for Wuhan Three Towns and only Peng Li missing for Liaoning Tieren FC, the balance of form still leans towards the home side.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Wuhan Three Towns
Wuhan Three Towns have taken five points from their last five league matches, with one win, two draws and two defeats. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw away to Qingdao West Coast, following a 1-3 home loss to Qingdao Hainiu and a 2-2 draw away to Tianjin Jinmen Tiger.
There is enough in that run to suggest they are competitive, but not fully secure at either end of the pitch. The 2-0 home win over Zhejiang stands out as their cleanest result in the sample and gives them a useful reference point heading into this fixture.

Liaoning Tieren FC
Liaoning Tieren FC arrive in poor form, having lost all five of their most recent league matches. Their latest result was a 1-2 home defeat to Yunnan Yukun, after a 0-1 home loss to Chengdu Rongcheng and a 0-4 away defeat to Henan Songshan Longmen.
The pattern is clear: they have struggled to score and have been beaten by narrow margins in several games, with only the Henan Songshan Longmen loss being a heavier one. That run leaves them needing a much sharper performance if they are to take anything from this trip.

Team News & Injury Report
Wuhan Three Towns
- No injuries have been reported for the current season.
Liaoning Tieren FC
- Peng Li (Broken Tibia)
Lineups & Tactical Setup
Wuhan Three Towns (4-3-3)
Predicted lineup: Jingqi Fang (Goalkeeper), Guan He (Defender), Kang Wang (Defender), Mbouri Yamkam (Defender), Ming Tian (Defender), Adriano Firmino (Midfielder), Liao Chengjian (Midfielder), Zheng Haoqian (Midfielder), Gustavo Sauer (Attacker), Jhonder Leonel Cádiz Fernández (Attacker), Jinxian Wang (Attacker)
Wuhan Three Towns’ 4-3-3 should allow Gustavo Sauer and the other attackers to stretch Liaoning Tieren FC’s back line and create space between the wing-backs and centre-backs. Adriano Firmino and the midfield unit can then help them keep pressure on the ball and support attacks from central areas.
Liaoning Tieren FC (3-4-3)
Predicted lineup: Yan Zhang (Goalkeeper), Pavle Vagic (Defender), Ximing Pan (Defender), Yuan Mincheng (Defender), Binbin Chen (Midfielder), Haoran Li (Midfielder), Tixiang Li (Midfielder), Yan Dinghao (Midfielder), Ange Samuel (Attacker), Jeffinho (Attacker), Takahiro Kunimoto (Attacker)
Liaoning Tieren FC’s 3-4-3 gives them a front three and enough midfield cover to try to compete in transitions. The shape should also help them protect the centre, but it will need disciplined work from the wide players if they are to stop Wuhan Three Towns building momentum.
