Shanghai Port B vs Qingdao Red LionsPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The 2-1 Qingdao Red Lions won at home in June remains the only recent meeting between these two. Shanghai Port B have lost four of their last five: 0-1 twice, then 1-3 and 2-3, with a 2-1 win at Dalian in between. Qingdao Red Lions have swung between extremes, a 6-1 against BIT and a 1-0 over Xi'an Ronghai on one side, a goalless draw and two 0-1 defeats on the other. Four of those five games produced no more than two goals in total. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
