Shenzhen will be continuing to search for their first victory away from home in the Chinese Super League on Thursday when they travel to face Changchun Yatai.
The hosts currently sit seventh in the league table but have the possibility of climbing to fourth if they can claim three points in this match.
We say: Changchun Yatai 3-2 Shenzhen
The two worst defensive teams in the Chinese Super League competing against each other should lead to a game full of goals that will be ideal for any neutral fans.
Both teams head into this one on the back of a defeat, but considering Shenzhen's poor away record it should be Changchun Yatai that takes all three points here.

Aiming to climb back into the top two in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua will travel to take on Qingdao Jonoon on Thursday.
After a dip in form, the visitors made a return to winning ways away at Cangzhou Mighty Lions last time out, while their hosts dropped to 15th spot with a third straight defeat on Sunday.
We say: Qingdao Jonoon 1-2 Shanghai Shenhua
Shanghai Shenhua should have regained a degree of confidence with their much-needed win last time out, while their hosts are devoid of any momentum having struggled since climbing to the top flight, and we see the visitors being too strong and coming away with all three points.
