The hosts are currently rooted to the bottom of the table with three points, while the visitors are in sixth place with seven points in Group A.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions’ horrid run of results continued last time out as they were beaten 2-0 by a rejuvenated Shandong Taishan side.
In a one-sided affair, former Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini and forward Tianyu Guo scored in either half to hand Shandong Taishan their fourth win of the season.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions have now failed to taste victory in their last 12 games across all competitions, picking up five draws and losing on seven occasions.
Their last win came back in October 2020 when they claimed a 2-1 victory away to Dalian Pro.
Meanwhile, Qingdao FC suffered a second straight defeat as they were hammered 6-0 by Guangzhou FC last time out.
Prior to that, Jingui Wu’s men were beaten 2-0 by Henan Songshan Longmen last Sunday. Qingdao FC have now lost four of their last five outings, scoring once and conceding 11 goals.
