The Chinese Super League is back in action tomorrow as an in-form Shandong Luneng side hosts Shenzhen FC at the Jinan Olympic Sports Centre Stadium. Shandong Luneng goes into this fixture with the upper hand owing to its excellent showing last week.
Shenzhen FC has struggled since its fantastic victory on the opening day of the Chinese Super League season and has endured three morale-sapping defeats tomorrow. The away side has hired Jordi Cruyff as its new manager and has a massive hill to climb if it has to return to winning ways this week.
Shandong Luneng pulled off a massive upset against Chinese Super League giants Guangzhou Evergrande earlier this week and defeated the reigning champions by a 1-0 margin. The home side will be looking to replicate its excellent performance against Shenzhen FC tomorrow.
