Shanghai Port vs Qingdao HainiuPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Shanghai SIPG sit eighth with 26 points from 23 games (8-7-8, 37 goals scored and 32 conceded) and have a solid home attack, 19 goals in 11 matches on their own turf. Their recent form reads three wins from the last five outings (reading oldest to most recent: N V V P V). Qingdao Jonoon are down in sixteenth on 14 points with a 6-3-14 record, and crucially arrive on a run of five straight losses (P P P P P), having shipped 30 goals in 12 away matches. The competition is averaging 3.07 goals per game, a figure that lines up with an in-form home attack facing a visiting defence that leaks goals heavily on the road. 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.
