Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Qingdao Jonoon & Shandong Luneng face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they played only four days ago in the League One. This match was also played here at Kangqiao Football Base. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Shandong Luneng have had more rest.

Action has already taken place for Qingdao in FA Cup as they have defeated Heilongjiang Lava Spring to reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Qingdao Jonoon's FA Cup journey ended in the 1st preliminary round.30 points is a decent return from 15 League One games here at Kangqiao Football Base for Qingdao Jonoon. The data says 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Qingdao Jonoon, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 226 minutes in the League One.
A nice win for Qingdao Jonoon last time playing, versus Guangxi Baoyun. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Zheng, Xie and Pan scoring for the victors.
In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Shenyang Urban.The manager Yin will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to BIT in only four days.

Shandong Luneng form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the finals.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 9 wins, 1 draw and only 3 losses in the Super League.
The Shandong Luneng goalkeeper Dalei Wang is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 201 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Shandong had fun at their own home (Kangqiao Football Base) last time out, beating Hebei CFFC 4-0. Pu, Wu and Cryzan (2) scored. As you can tell from the results above, Shandong Luneng was very dominant against Hebei CFFC, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Pu, Wu and Cryzan (2) providing the goals. Cryzan, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.81. Cryzan scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Shanghai Shenhua in the Super League.Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Shandong Luneng given similar win odds in an away game.
