All eyes will be on the Group B table tomorrow with a couple of intriguing fixtures lined up. One of them, which holds utmost importance to the dynamics of both sides, is Tianjin Teda versus Qingdao Huanghai.
It is a battle between two basement clubs who are yet to mark a win this season. While Tianjin have lost four matches and are in a major slump of form, Qingdao are struggling to convert points and draws into victories.
No other team across the group has conceded as many goals as Tianjin, who have also not managed to find the back of the net in their last two matches.
As for Qingdao, a heroic comeback after going three goals down against Beijing Guoan must surely have lifted their spirits, although it was their fourth consecutive draw.
Even then, they look far more exciting while going forward and are certainly a more organised side this season than Tianjin Teda.
It'll be a huge test for the latter, as they aim to salvage what has been a shockingly horrendous start to the new Chinese Super League season.
On that note, we bring all you need to know ahead of the must-win encounter between Tianjin Teda and Qingdao Huanghai.

It's a hard one to call as neither side have been able to lift themselves up after poor starts. However, after the 3-3 draw against Beijing, Qingdao's confidence will be right up there.
