Season ticket holders at Dalian University Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Qingdao Hainiu languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Shenzhen will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Qingdao nor Shenzhen as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Qingdao Hainiu form and stats
Qingdao Hainiu's results here at Dalian University Stadium in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

Qingdao are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Shenzhen awaits in four days.
