Winless teams Changchun Yatai FC (0-2-0, 0 points) and Tianjin Teda FC (0-0-1, 1 point) are scheduled to clash in a 2016 Chinese Super League match at the Development Area Stadium in Changchun on Sunday, April 3rd to try and earn their first victory of the new season.

Changchun kicked off the season with two losses, first a 1-2 defeat in the hands of Hangzhou Greentown during their season-opener then a demoralizing 0-3 setback versus defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande on March 12th at the Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou, via Soccerway.

Head coach Slaviša Stojanovič's boys were no match for the indignant Southern China Tigers at that time as the two-time AFC Champions League winners have also opened the season with a 1-2 beating against lowly squad Chongqing Lifan during the previous matchday, prompting them to put their frustrations on the Jilin residents.

Evergrande's €42 million-man Jackson Martinez led the charge and scored for the second straight time for Guangzhou right at the seventh minute and was followed by Brazilian midfielder Ricardo Goulart and local striker Gao Lin at the 13th and 51st minutes respectively to complete the hosts' three-goal haul.

Meanwhile, Tianjin Teda's second game of the season ended in a scoreless draw with capital city team Beijing Guoan at their home field of Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium on March 16th, as per Sofa Score.

The Tianjin Tigers came into the match nursing a 0-1 home loss to lowly squad Guangzhou R&F four days before as new manager Dragan Okuka is still adjusting to the pace of the Chinese top flight games.

Tianjin finished 13th during last season's competitions and the 61-year-old Serbian looks to improve that finish this season.

The predicted result is a close 2-1 victory for Tianjin Teda.

Changchun Yatai starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Song; Yan, Matic, Ismailov, Jiang; Zhang, He, Yan, Gorius; Du; Moreno

Tianjin Teda starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Yang; Nie, Junior, Jovanovic, Bai; Li, Zhou H.; Zhou T., Wagner, Hu; Montero
