In round 11 of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou FC welcome Cangzhou Mighty Lions to the Tianhe Stadium on Monday.

Guangzhou FC were denied a fourth win in five games on Friday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Shenzhen.

Meanwhile, Cangzhou Mighty Lions ended their dire 12-game winless run as they claimed a 2-0 win over Qingdao last Saturday.

However, they came crashing back down to earth three days later as they fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Henan Songshan Longmen.

This was followed by a 1-1 draw with Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic last time out.

In a drab affair, Pengfei Xie’s first-half opener was canceled out by Zhang Xian’s last grasp 89th-minute leveler.

With seven points from 10 games, Monday’s visitors are currently 12th in the log, three points ahead of rock-bottom Dalian Pro.
