Shanghai Shenhua and Dalian Pro go head-to-head at the Jinjiang Sports Center as round 30 of the Chinese Super League gets underway on Friday.
The hosts head into the weekend unbeaten in seven consecutive matches against the Blue Hawks and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Shanghai Shenhua were sent crashing down to earth on Monday when they suffered a 2-0 loss against Zhejiang.
This followed a 1-0 victory over Meizhou Hakka which saw their eight-game winless run in the league come to an end.
With 45 points from 29 games, Shanghai Shenhua are currently ninth in the Super League table, level on points with eighth-placed Tianjin Jinmen Tiger.
In stark contrast, Dalian Pro continued their charge to the top half of the table as they secured a 3-1 victory away to Beijing Guoan last time out.
They have now won three matches on the trot and are unbeaten in four consecutive outings since their 1-0 loss to Zhejiang in the FA Cup on November 18.
Dalian are currently 11th in the league standings after picking up 39 points from 29 games.
