Match preview
Henan currently sit twelfth in the Chinese Super League. In 15 matches, the “Red Devils” have earned 14 points: 4 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses. However, they head into the clash with Shandong Taishan in decent form. Over their last five league games, Henan have claimed three wins, drawn once, and suffered a single defeat.
This season, Shandong Taishan have been inconsistent. Choi Kang-hee’s squad is currently fifth with 24 points. Notably, they finished last season in the same position. Climbing higher this year will be a real challenge, as there’s a seven-point gap to the next team above them. Meanwhile, several teams are hot on their heels: Yunnan Yukun and Tianjin Tiger are just two points behind.

Henan Songshan: Wang G. – Ruifeng, Maidana, Lucao, Liu – Wang S., He, Nazario – Zhong, Acheampong – Cardozo
Shandong Taishan: Wang – Zhao, Ghazal, Zheng, Liu – Weneng, Yongtao, Madruga, Kazaisvili, Zeca, Cryzan
