Dalian Professional battle Hangzhou for honour and success.
- Dalian Professional have the most dropped points from leading position (4) in Super League
These teams have little in common geographically as Hangzhou have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
