A good away victory last time out for Shandong, who won 7-0 against Hebei CFFC (placed 18th). As mentioned above, Shandong Luneng "killed" Hebei CFFC in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Cryzan has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in seven games in a row. Impressive!
