CSL Preview: Beijing, Guizhou eye third place

Just three points separate the two sides and it is Beijing who occupy the final AFC Champions League qualification spot with three games remaining.

Guizhou welcome seventh-placed Liaoning Whowin after back-to-back losses saw them lose their grip on third spot.

Recent history favours the away side, who will hope to continue their three-game winning run against Aleksandar Stanojevic's side.

Qingdao moved out of the bottom two with a win over Tianjin Teda last time out but making it two consecutive victories will be a tall order against Marcello Lippi's men, who have only lost once this season.

Changchun Yatai occupy the second relegation spot but they face Tianjin at home and will be buoyed by the fact that Alexandre Guimares' side have lost against the other two sides in the bottom three this term.
