Qingdao West Coast

Qingdao West Coast has had a harsh introduction to their first ever appearance in the top flight in club history, having engaged in just two competitive matches. The newbies went into the international break with a sense of melancholy because of their two-match winless run in the league. 

In their opening match against Henan FC, they couldn't use their opponents numerical disadvantage to their advantage to secure a historic win in front of their fans, as they had to settle for a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw. Despite a change of scenery on the second match day, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 2-0 away defeat at the hands of early pacesetter Shanghai Shenhua, leaving them in the bottom three in the standings. 

With one point accumulated from two matches played, Qingdao West Coast currently sits in 14th place in the Chinese Super League standings, one place above the drop zone, and has maintained a one-point advantage over their opponents in this impending encounter.

Qingdao Hainiu FC

The visitors, on the other hand, have suffered a similar fate as their counterparts this season, although their situation is far worse as they have yet to secure a point in their second consecutive appearance in the top flight. However, they'll be optimistic that the international break served as a springboard for their regrouping efforts as they vie for that maiden victory. 

In their latest league match, they suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Changchun Yatai FC, dashing their hopes of a rebound after being dealt a 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Chengdu Rongcheng FC in the opening match of the season. Their losing streak in the league stands at two matches, leaving them low on confidence; however, despite this, they'll be backing themselves up for a favorable outcome in this matchup. 

With no points accumulated as of yet from two matches played, Qingdao Hainiu FC currently sits in 15th place within the relegation zone and is one point adrift of safety.

Formation: 4-2-3-1
