Qingdao Hainiu

LLDWWL

Qingdao Hainiu will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 4-2 Super League defeat last time out to Shandong Luneng.

In that game, Qingdao Hainiu had 40% possession and 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Shandong Taishan had 18 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Crysan (36') and Marouane Fellaini (74') scored for Shandong Luneng.

An interesting characteristic of recent Qingdao Hainiu games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their prior six matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a losing one. That pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, though.

Nantong Zhiyun
