Qingdao Hainiu
LLDWDL
After a losing effort in their last game against Zhejiang Professional in Super League action, Qingdao Hainiu and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Qingdao Hainiu have been a threat going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 11 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Li Xiaopeng will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Qingdao Hainiu have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games.
