Foshan Nanshi FC vs Shijiazhuang Kungfu

FOSHAN, China (Interstat) — A China League One matchup on Saturday pits a mid-table Shijiazhuang Kungfu against a struggling Foshan Nanshi FC, with the teams looking to build on contrasting recent form.

Shijiazhuang Kungfu (15-13-12) enters the contest following a scoreless draw with Chongqing Tongliang on Oct. 26. The visitors sit comfortably in the middle of the table, having found consistency with three wins in their last five league matches.

They face a Foshan Nanshi FC side (6-12-9) that is near the bottom of the standings but is coming off a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Shanghai Jiading on Oct. 25. That win snapped a three-game losing streak for the home side.

The previous meeting between these clubs on June 29 ended in a 2-2 draw, suggesting another competitive fixture. A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a repeat of that result, predicting a 1-1 final score.

Shijiazhuang’s overall record across all competitions is 16-16-13, while Foshan Nanshi sits at 6-13-9.

Following this match, Shijiazhuang Kungfu will host Dalian Kuncheng FC on Nov. 8, while Foshan Nanshi FC will travel to face Liaoning Tieren FC the same day.
