NextGOAL tip: Qingdao Hainiu +1 · 1 stars
Qingdao Hainiu and Liaoning Tieren FC meet in the Super League, with both sides still needing points to pull away from the bottom of the table. The hosts sit 16th with 21 points from 27 matches, while the visitors are 14th, 5 points apart, so this is a game where the points matter to both sides. Qingdao Hainiu come into this game on a run of 5 straight defeats, conceding in every one of those matches, and they lost by 2 goals or more in 3 of their last 5. Liaoning Tieren FC, meanwhile, have also gone 5 matches without a win, but they drew 2 of those and lost heavily only once. Overall, these are two teams in similarly poor form, the difference being that the visitors have still picked up some points from draws. The likely pattern is that the hosts will have to open up first, because the table situation forces them to chase points quickly, while Liaoning Tieren FC will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially late in the game when both teams tend to concede often. This game therefore offers a real chance that the hosts keep the margin close, and it is more likely to end in a tight contest than in the visitors running away with it.
