Qingdao’s confidence from their last victory could see them take the initiative, especially with Yaw Yeboah pulling the strings in midfield. Tianjin’s resilience will be tested, and they’ll need to be clinical with any chances that come their way. This could be a tight affair, but Qingdao’s slight edge in form might just see them through.Qingdao’s confidence from their last victory could see them take the initiative, especially with Yaw Yeboah pulling the strings in midfield.

Form Guide & Team Overview
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger are in a bit of a rut, having lost their last three matches. Their recent 2-3 defeat to Shanghai Shenhua at home was a tough pill to swallow, especially after a goalless draw against Chongqing Tonglianglong FC. The lack of goals is a concern, and they’ll need to find a way to break down defences if they want to turn their fortunes around.Tianjin Jinmen Tiger are in a bit of a rut, having lost their last three matches.
