Wuhan Three Towns FC (Home)
- In their last three Chinese Super League 2026 fixtures, Maozhen Su's men smashed Liaoning Tieren FC 5-1 away, before losing 2-0 away to Beijing Guoan FC and narrowly edging Yunnan Yukun FC 4-3 at home.
- They have posted a sharp return of three wins and two defeats from their last five matches in all competitions.
- Su's 5-3-2/3-5-2 system has been well balanced and compact, providing plenty of width through the wing-backs, while also allowing them to play at the right tempo for the majority of the game.
- The hosts are coached by Zhuoxiang Deng, whose hybrid 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 has been set up to play on the counter at times, although Wuhan's reliance on quick vertical breaks has been reactive in their recent fixtures.
- Three Towns have failed to win each of their three home fixtures in all competitions (D2 L1) and have also failed to register a win in their last two home fixtures against Shandong, so the momentum is certainly with the travelling team.
Shandong Luneng Taishan FC (Away)
- Shandong Luneng Taishan FC are slight favorites at 1.92 for Tuesday's FA Cup 2026 away fixture to Wuhan Three Towns FC, who are 3.45 with the draw priced at 3.8.
- Zeca has been Shandong's red-hot finisher, notching seven of their 14 goals scored in the last five.
- The odds suggest this will be a goal-filled game and that could well be the case, but the Chinese Super League 2026 form of both teams indicates that Shandong are more likely to nick it in a competitive, open game.
- This looks set to be a systems vs transition battle with Shandong looking to pin the flanks and dictate shape, while Wuhan will be looking to spring fast counters into the gaps.
Head-to-Head
- The visitors also have an edge in the overall H2H record (W3 D2 L0).
- Three Towns have failed to register a win in their last two home fixtures against Shandong.
