QINGDAO, China (Interstat) — A clash of China League One extremes is set for Saturday as the league’s top form, Guangdong Haoxin Trade, visits the struggling Qingdao Hongshi FC.

Guangdong (15-5-6) enters the match near the summit of the table, riding a six-match unbeaten streak. Their potent attack was on full display in a recent 4-1 rout of Nanjing Chengshi FC, and they are fresh off a 2-2 draw with Shaanxi Lianhe FC.

In stark contrast, Qingdao (1-15-7) is mired at the bottom of the standings. The home side has managed just one league victory all season and is reeling from a 3-2 home defeat to Nanjing last weekend, a match that extended their winless run. Their season has been marked by a feeble offense, including a 7-1 loss to Nantong Zhiyun earlier this month.

The previous meeting between these two sides on June 29 ended in a 0-0 stalemate, one of the few positive defensive results for Qingdao this year.

According to the Interstat game simulator, Guangdong is projected to continue its successful campaign with a 2-1 victory. The matchup pits Guangdong’s push for promotion against a Qingdao squad desperately seeking any sign of positive momentum.
