If there's any team that has had a dreadful start to the season, it has to be Qingdao Hainiu FC. They are the only side in the league yet to register a point, and that comes as no surprise given their poor display in their recent matches.

Despite Yasen Petrov's men being granted the perfect opportunity to record their first win of the season as they locked horns with newly promoted Qingdao West Coast away from home in the Qingdao Derby however they found themselves on the receiving end of a 1-0 defeat. This marked their third consecutive defeat in the league, and interestingly enough, they have failed to score a goal in any of those matches.

With no points accumulated thus far from their last three matches, Qingdao Hainiu FC are anchored to the bottom of the table as they occupy the 16th position in the Chinese Super League standings and are one adrift of safety.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

After their elimination from the AFC Champions League at the hands of Japan's opposition, Yokohama F. Marinos, one would've expected that this would serve as a wake-up call to put forth a more improved performance in their future matches. However, that wasn't the case, as they showcased a poor display in their match against Shanghai Shenhua, losing 3-0 at home.

While this was their first defeat of the season, Shandong Taishan failed to win any of their last four matches across all competitions and entered this match lacking in confidence. Although they may feel a reversal of fortunes is just around the corner as they take on a side that has been in erratic form. 

With four points accumulated from three matches, Shandong Taishan sits in seventh place in the Chinese Super League standings, five points adrift of first-placed Shanghai Shenhua. 

Formation: 4-4-2
