An important duel in the bottom section of the Super League, with both Tianjin Teda and Hebei CFFC experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 8th and the visitors in 6th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Hebei's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Beijing Guoan that finished 3-3. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Chongqing Dangdai Lifan wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
Hebei's last match (vs Beijing Guoan) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 1-3. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Marcão. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Hebei CFFC, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
