Shenzhen FC's quest for a convincing display on home turf faltered at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre, leading to a 1-0 loss against Nantong Zhiyun FC. A similar story unfolded in their away encounter against Dalian Pro, where they managed to find the net but still fell short, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat.
Their inconsistency in the league has become a pattern, marked by a disheartening streak of five consecutive losses. With a paltry one point collected from thirteen matches, their struggles aren't surprising.
This lack of motivation casts a shadow over their encounters, increasing the likelihood of another defeat. Their upcoming clash against a formidable opponent adds to the challenge.
Current standings place Shenzhen FC at the league's rock bottom, occupying 16th place with 12 points to their name. A seven-point gap separates them from the security of a safer spot, leaving them teetering precariously on the edge of the relegation abyss.

Facing a daunting task, Shandong Taishan welcomed Tianjin Teda to the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium, prevailing with a slender 1-0 victory courtesy of Chi Zang's late 89th-minute strike.
This triumph followed a compelling display against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC, where they seized a commanding 4-0 win on their home turf, securing the coveted three points.
Taishan Dui enters this encounter with the wind of success at their backs, having clinched two consecutive league victories. A promising wave of momentum propels them forward as they set their sights on a third consecutive triumph, bolstered by their opponent's lackluster performance thus far.
In the league standings, Shandong Taishan claims 2nd place with 41 points, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with 3rd-placed Shanghai Shenhua, thanks to their significant goal differential. The pinnacle is a tantalizing twelve points distant, occupied by Shanghai Port FC.
