The hosts, Dalian Professional had endured a disappointing run coming into the Chinese Super League winning won only one of their last six matches. The fact that they are still unbeaten in the league with two draws against Henan Songshan Longmen and Changchun Yatai and a victory against Guangzhou City is a great positive sign for them. Xie Hui’s side know that they have an encouraging and confident run of fixtures to develop their preparations upon for the next set of fixtures. They will be looking for a win knowing that it could take them close to the title contenders.
Zhejiang Professional, on the other hand only have an utterly disappointing run of fixtures to look upon. They have suffered key defeats against Shandong Taishan and Henan Songshan Longmen, losing 1-0 and 3-1 respectively. A 0-0 stalemate against Changchun Yatai has been the only occasion this campaign where they have been able to collect any points. Uncomfortably close to the relegation spot, Jordi Vinyals’ side will have to be in a much better shape to provide a challenge to Dalian Pro or else it could turn out to be a simple outing for the hosts.
Following their last game against Changchun Yatai, Dalian Professional fortunately didn’t endure any injury woes and have a full roster available. This will provide their coach, Xie Hui great flexibility in choosing his playing XI as his side aim to enter the top half of the league table. While the visitors, Zhejiang Professional will still be without the service of Matheus, Chao Gu, Lucas Possignolo who are unavailable due to fitness issues. Rest of the players are fit to play.
Dalian Professional probable line-up: Zhang, Sun, Lin, Dong, Tong, Lu, Huang, Fei, Shang, Zhu, Yan
Zhejiang Professional probable line-up: Zhao, Yue, Leung, Sun, Gao, Zhang, Cheng, Andrijasevic, Gu, Ewolo, Meshekwi
