Struggling squad Changchun Yatai FC (2-8-4, 10 points) is set to take on the challenge of mercurial team Henan Jianye FC (6-4-4, 22 points) at their home field of Development Area Stadium on Saturday, June 25 in a round 15 match of the 2016 Chinese Super League season.

Changchun started the season with a nine-game winless skid before momentarily bouncing back with a two-game winning run. Currently, they are on a slide again as the team had been winless in three consecutive games.

Their last one was a 0-2 defeat to a surging Liaoning Whowin eleven also at their home stadium last Sunday, as per Goal.

Head coach Lee Jang-soo's boys could not respond with anything against the Northeast Tigers, who scored two goals in the contest courtesy of a brace from Zambian forward James Chamanga at the 40th and 83rd minutes off assists from teammates Zhang Ye and Yang Yu respectively.

It was Changchun's second loss in their last three outings as they are now at the bottom two relegation area of the league table.

Meanwhile, Henan Jianye snapped its five-game unbeaten streak with a 0-1 loss to Shijiazhuang Ever Bright at the Yutong International Sports Center also on Sunday, via Soccerway.

The undefeated run was composed of three draws and two wins as manager Jia Xiuquan's squad cannot seem to find the consistency they need to keep on winning.

Portuguese import Ruben Micael netted the lone goal of the contest for Shijiazhuang as they handed the Red Devils their fourth loss of this term.

Henan is currently settled at the sixth spot in the overall standings, tied on points with fifth-placed team Shanghai Shenhua and two points ahead of Tianjin Teda at the seventh spot.

The predicted result is a 1-0 win for Henan Jianye.

Changchun Yatai starting lineup (5-4-1 formation): Wu; Jiang, Sun, Matic, Yaki, Fan; Cheng, Gorius, Yan, Du; Moreno

Henan Jianye starting lineup (5-3-2 formation): Wu; McGowan, Chen, Gomes, Li, Lu; Yin, Feng, Mirahmetjan; Sow, Ivo
