Zhejiang Professional FC

 Form: LLLWL

The Green Giants dropped points for the third consecutive time in the league as they succumbed to a 3:1 defeat against Chengdu Rongcheng FC in front of their fans at the Yellow Dragon Sports Center.

Given this outcome, the Green Giants have now lost four consecutive matches across all competitions. However, Jordi Vinyals' team will enter this match with optimism, having been impressive at home, losing just one of their last six games (W5).

With 28 points accumulated from 21 matches, Zhejiang Professional FC occupies 6th place in the Chinese Super League standings. They are one point ahead of seventh-placed and eighth-placed Tianjin Teda and Henan FC, respectively.

Qingdao Hainiu FC

Form: WLDWL

Qingdao Hainiu is one of the teams fighting for survival this season. In their previous match against Meizhou Hakka, they showed their prowess by recording a resounding 4-2 victory at home. This was compensation for their morale-sapping 5-0 defeat at the hands of Shanghai Port FC. 

Yasen Petrov's team has had a mixed bag of results in the league, recording three losses, two wins, and one draw in their last six matches. Away from home, they are currently on a three-match winless run (L2, D1), conceding 11 goals in the process. 

With 22 points accumulated from 21 matches, Qingdao Hainiu FC occupies 11th place in the Chinese Super League standings. They have maintained a five-point cushion over the drop zone.
