Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 away win over Shenzhen Peng City in their last league game, Qingdao Hainiu will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Shenzhen Peng City, who had 18 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

Yasen Petrov will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but playing at home, they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.  

They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Qingdao Youth Football Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.

It's fair to say Shanghai Port will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Shanghai Shenhua, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.  They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Shanghai Shenhua's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 13 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Kevin Muscat will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period.  In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.  

Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.  

Wu Lei will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Shanghai Port.
