Qingdao Hainiu will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Shanghai Shenhua who sit so many places above them in the table.  During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 10 shots on goal.  

It seems pretty certain that Antonio Gómez-Carreño will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.  

They have had an excellent run of form at Qingdao Tiantai Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Chengdu Rongcheng last time out.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Chengdu Rongcheng had 11 shots on goal with 6 on target.  

It's fair to say that manager Yu Genwei will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  They've had an unusually high number of draws this season, with 14 draws in 27 league games.  

On an individual basis, Sandro Wagner will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Tianjin Jinmen Tiger's last 6 league games.
