Wuhan Three Towns host Shandong Taishan at home in a match where the two teams come off very different results in their most recent outing. The hosts lost 1-3 away, while the visitors thrashed their opponents 5-0. The pre-match picture therefore tilts fairly clearly toward the visitors. Wuhan Three Towns are still without a win in 5 straight matches, but they drew 3 of those and lost heavily only twice. Their attack offers something to cheer about, but a defence that has conceded 50 goals in 28 matches is the spot that has let points slip away time and again. Shandong Taishan, for their part, have won 14 of 28 matches and scored 52 goals; their 4th place in the table makes sense, though away games have not always been easy to close out. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides have a similar tendency to concede late in matches. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how tightly Wuhan Three Towns can defend in the first half. If they keep a clean sheet before the break, the game will flow the way the hosts want.
