Zhejiang Professional have performed below expectations this season as they have failed to replicate their third-place finish in the previous season. After 28 games, the team finds itself sitting in seventh place and is three points behind sixth-placed Tianjin Teda. 

The Green Giants have lost five of their last nine matches across all competitions (W2, D2) and come into this match seeking to regain their momentum. A 1-0 defeat at the hands of Port FC on the third match day of the AFC Cup is also a part of that unbeaten run. However, they did manage to return to winning ways in the league as they beat Wuhan Three Towns 2-0 away from home to halt a five-match winless run (L3, D2).

Similar to their opponents, Shandong Taishan have also performed below expectations this season. They get to finish outside the top three for the first time since the 2018-19 season, when they finished in fifth place, which is their standing in the table right now.

Taishan Dui made it four games unbeaten in all competitions, recording two wins and two draws following a 2-2 draw against Yokohama F. Marinos in the AFC Champions League. Prior to that, they thrashed Tianjin Teda 4-1 at home, which was their second successive win by that scoreline, having outplayed Shenzhen Peng City FC beforehand.

• Zhejiang Professional FC have won just one of their last 5 Chinese Super League games.
• There have been 3 or more goals scored in each of Shandong Taishan's last 4 games.
• Zhejiang Professional FC averages 2.5 goals per game when playing at home, and Shandong Taishan averages 1.21 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 24 meetings, Zhejiang Professional FC have won 8 times, Shandong Taishan have won 14 times, and there have been 2 draws, with the goal difference being 36-27 in favour of Shandong Taishan. 

Both sides come into this match having won their last matches in the Super League. Due to home advantage, Zhejiang Professional FC are considered slight favourites with bookmakers; however, picking up three points here won't be an easy feat.

Shandong Taishan, on the other hand, has won seven of their last nine encounters against the home team in this fixture. This makes us inclined to think they won't suffer defeat in this clash, which is why we recommend supporting in the double chance market to win or draw.
