Shandong Taishan
- Shandong Taishan are 4th in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 38 points from 27 games.
- Shandong Luneng Taishan will look to maintain their position in the top six of the Chinese Super League 2026 when they face an improving Zhejiang Professional side at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium on Saturday.
- The hosts are unbeaten in two games, albeit after consecutive draws.
- Shandong have won just one of their last five in all competitions.
- Shandong average 2.23 goals scored and 1.38 goals conceded in their 13 home league games this season, winning seven, drawing four and losing two.
Zhejiang Professional
- Zhejiang Professional are 10th in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 31 points from 27 matches.
- The Green Giants come into the matchup in strong spirits after a 4-1 home win over Wuhan Three Towns last weekend.
- Surrounding that result, however, have been two defeats and another draw, so both sides' form is patchy at best.
- Zhejiang have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five.
- Zhejiang Professional have won three, drawn three and lost seven of their 13 away games in the Chinese Super League 2026, averaging 1.31 goals scored and 1.92 conceded.
Head-to-Head
- Zhejiang Professional have beaten Shandong 4-1 at home in their most recent Chinese Super League 2026 meeting.
- The Green Giants are winless in their two previous visits.
- Shandong have not lost in their opponents' last two visits, so the draw no bet line could be a consideration for those who feel the game might be too close to call.

Betting Insights
Prediction
- Cryzan has 16 goals in 21 appearances this season.
- Yao Junsheng gives them a different dimension to their play when Cryzan is tightly marked.
- Tian Tang has done a steady, if unspectacular, job since joining the club on *28 July 2026** and appears to be an improved fit to this squad.
- Both teams to score is always tempting when Zhejiang are involved, coming in at 1.31 here.
- The draw no bet line could be a sensible option for cautious punters given the mixed recent form on both sides.
- Given Shandong's strong home scoring averages and Zhejiang's improving but inconsistent away form, backing the hosts looks the most logical option while keeping an eye on the both teams to score* market.
