Having already been relegated following just four wins all season, Yanbian Funde will be looking to give their supporters something to cheer about when they take on Guizhou Zhicheng at the Yanji Nationwide Fitness Centre Stadium on Saturday morning. However, with the visitors coming into the game off the back of a comfortable 3-0 victory themselves, it could well be a tight affair in Yanji.

Guizhou Hengfeng ZhichengMatch Preview
The final round of fixtures in the Chinese Super League takes place this weekend, with relegated Yanbian Funde hoping to end their campaign on a high with a victory over Guizhou Zhicheng. Manager Park Tae-ha may have failed overall this season with his team sitting in 15th position in the standings, however a clash with Guizhou offers the opportunity for them to add three points to their points tally. Despite neither side having much to play for on Saturday, there are still a variety of betting markets worth utilising surrounding this match, with our top betting tip just one. Let’s take a closer look at the two teams for those interested in taking a punt on this Chinese top-flight encounter.
Yanbian Funde Team News & Form
Three straight defeats for the home side mean that confidence is seemingly rock-bottom for Yanbian Funde, with a lack of goals having hampered their progress throughout the campaign. Park Tae-ha’s team have the joint-worst goalscoring record in the league, with just 29 goals from the same number of matches. Gambian midfielder Bubacarr Trawally has been the star performer for Yanbian Funde, scoring 16 of those 29 goals by himself. Elsewhere, experienced Serbian defender Nicola Petkovic could make his last appearance for the club.
Guizhou Zhicheng Team News & Form
Former Atletico Madrid and Malaga boss Gregorio Manzano has led Guizhou Zhicheng to a mid-table finish in China this season, with his team hoping to consolidate their seventh-place position with a win on the final weekend of the campaign. Former Everton and West Ham striker has been on fire in front of goal for the visitors, with the Croatian international scoring 15 CSL goals to date. Elsewhere, Spanish duo Mario Suarez and Ruben Castro add both experience and skill to the Zhicheng starting eleven.
Head to Head
The two teams have just once in the past, coming earlier on in the season when Yanbian Funde claimed a surprise away victory over Guizhou Zhicheng at the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center thanks to a late winner from Yinong Tian.
Betting Odds and Predictions
Despite their poor league position, Yanbian Funde are offered relatively appealing odds to claim what would be just a fifth victory of the season for the minnows. The home side can be backed at best odds of 1/100 at Betfair, while the visitors are available at odds of 1/25.
Top Betting Tip
However, our top betting tip for the match is to bet on a draw come the final whistle between Yanbian Funde and Guizhou Zhicheng, with odds of 8/15 available at SkyBet.
