Qingdao Hainiu welcome Yunnan Yukun at Qingdao Tiantai Stadium, Qingdao on Friday, Jun 26 at 1:35 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Qingdao Hainiu come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Yunnan Yukun, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 3L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Qingdao Hainiu and Yunnan Yukun have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Qingdao Hainiu won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.7 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Qingdao Hainiu win or a draw looks most likely.
