Qingdao West Coast welcome Tianjin Jinmen Tiger at Guzhenkou University City Sports Center, Qingdao on Tuesday, May 5 at 1:00 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Qingdao West Coast come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Tianjin Jinmen Tiger travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 4 previous meetings, Qingdao West Coast lead 0–2 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Qingdao West Coast a slight edge, but Tianjin Jinmen Tiger are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
