On May 15 at 19:35 Beijing time, the 12th round of the Chinese Super League will feature a highly anticipated clash between league leaders Chengdu Rongcheng and bottom-placed Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, a true top-versus-bottom showdown. 
After 11 rounds, Chengdu Rongcheng have been unstoppable with 10 wins and 1 draw, remaining unbeaten and currently on an eight-game winning streak. With 31 points, they hold an 11-point lead over second-placed Chongqing Tonglianglong, effectively putting one hand on the CSL title before the halfway mark. 
In contrast, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger have struggled badly, winning only two matches so far and sitting rock bottom with just 1 point after deductions. Given the huge gap in both squad strength and form, Chengdu should secure a comfortable victory as long as they avoid making mistakes.
Here is the predicted starting lineup for Chengdu Rongcheng:
Goalkeeper: Liu Dianzuo;
Defenders: Hu Hetao, Han Peng, Sorokin, He Yiran;
Midfielders: Yang Mingyang, Liao Lisheng, Romulo;
Forwards: Wei Shihao, Wellington Silva, Baihelamu.
