Zhejiang Professional FC

Form: LLLWD

The Green Giants made the trip to Qingdao Youth Football Stadium to lock horns with Qingdao Hainiu FC in the sixth round of the Chinese Super League. Despite holding the favorite tag and being in the ascendancy for large spells of the game, they still found themselves on the receiving end of a convincing 2-0 defeat.

The Green Giants have been going through a rough patch lately, enduring some trying weeks as they have suffered three consecutive defeats while failing to score in their last two matches (5-0). However, setting foot at the Hangzhou Dragon Stadium should see them motivated to return to winning ways, considering they've suffered one defeat in their last 11 matches (W7, D3). 

With seven points accumulated from six matches, Zhejiang Professional FC sits in tenth place in the Chinese Super League standings, level on points with ninth-placed Qingdao West Coast and two points behind sixth-placed Beijing Guoan FC.

Tianjin Teda

Form: DWLWW

Tianjin Teda, on the other hand, was able to salvage a crucial point in their match against Meizhou Hakka FC, playing out a goalless draw at home, though expectations were leaning towards a comfortable win for the Tianjin-based side.

For a team of their caliber, they have made an impressive start to the season, as their aspirations see them aiming for another mid-table finish or hopefully a spot in the AFC Champions League. The Tigers have suffered just one defeat in their last six matches played, recording three wins and two draws. Having avoided defeat in their last two matches (W1, D1), they come into this match aiming to extend that unbeaten run to three matches.

With 11 points accumulated from six matches, Tianjin Teda sits in fifth place in the Chinese Super League standings and is three points behind third-placed Shanghai Port FC, who occupy the AFC Champions League qualifier spot.
