The Tigers are coming off a high-scoring 4-4 draw with current bottom-dwellers Changchun on the road at the Development Area Stadium last Sunday, via Soccerway.

The hosts scored the opening goal at the 27th minute with a strike from Bolivian forward Marcelo Moreno but was quickly equalized by Colombian striker Fredy Montero two minutes later.

Yatai grabbed the lead again at the break with a second goal from Moreno at the stroke of halftime, but Tianjin also leveled again at the hour mark with Mozambican defender Zainadine Junior's shot.

Moreno completed a hat trick to give Changchun the lead for the final time at the 71st before the visitors scored the next two goals to take the lead, courtesy of team captain Aleksandar Jovanović of Australia.

It looked like Dragan Okuka's boys will finally taste their first win of the season, but Junior had an own goal two minutes before full time to make them settle again to a draw.

Meanwhile, Hangzhou blanked powerhouse squad Shandong Luneng, 2-0, in their most recent CSL match on April 1st at their home field of Yellow Dragon Sports Center, as reported by Cri English.

Local midfielder Luo Jing and Ivorian striker Davy Claude Angan provided the goals for Hong Myung-bo's side at the eighth and 13th minutes as Australian superstar Tim Cahill rested in the match.

It is expected that Cahill will be back in this game against Tianjin on Sunday.

The predicted result is another 2-0 victory for Hangzhou Greentown.
