China take on Syria at Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Sports Park in an international friendly on Tuesday, with both sides being in contrasting runs of form.

China have only lost one of their last five games. Aleksandar Jankovic's side will be going into the game off the back of a 1-1 draw against Malaysia last time out. They will look to continue their form with a win against Syria on Tuesday.

Syria, on the other hand, have been in woeful form recently, having won only one of their last five games. Hector Cuper's lost 2-1 to Venezuela in their last game and will be hoping to turn things around with a win against China this week.

Both sides will be looking to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.

China vs Syria Prediction

The two sides have been in contrasting form recently and that should come to the fore during the game on Tuesday.

China's Lei Wu has been in strong form for both club and country, having scored 17 goals in his last 27 games across all competitions. He will be looking to do the same on Tuesday. Syria, on the other hand, have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three games, conceding four goals along the way.

It's difficult to imagine Syria coming away with anything from the game given the difference in form and quality between the two sides. We predict China will win the game comfortably.

Prediction: China 3-1 Syria
