The Green Giants climbed out of the bottom two relegation area by nipping current cellar dwellers Changchun Yatai, 1-0, on the road at the Development Area Stadium in Changchun last Sunday, as per Sofa Score.

Brazilian forward Anselmo Ramon, who just came out of the reserved list in preparation for the departure of Australian striker Tim Cahill, provided the lone goal of the contest for manager Hong Myung-bo's squad at the 85th minute off an assist from compatriot Denilson Gabionetta.

With the win, Hangzhou climbed to the 13th spot of the league table, four points above the relegation zone with 13 games to play this term.

Meanwhile, Shijiazhuang Ever Bright had been struggling lately as they are now on a four-game losing slide. The team dropped to the bottom two relegation zone, 15th in the league, only a point above last-placed squad Changchun.

Ever Bright is coming off a humiliating 0-4 defeat in the hands of Shandong Luneng at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium on Wednesday, via Soccerway.

Head coach Li Jinyu's side were unable to score after more than 90 minutes of play while Shandong had braces from imports Walter Montillo and Diego Tardelli to complete their four-goal haul in the contest.

Hangzhou is favored to win a close match and continue their winning run to four games while Shijiazhuang falls to their fifth consecutive defeat.

The predicted result is a tough 1-0 win for Hangzhou Greentown.
