The Chinese Super League continues this week and will see Wuhan host Qingdao at the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium on Tuesday.
Wuhan saw their first defeat since the restart as they lost 2-0 to Cangzhou Mighty Lions on Christmas Day. The hosts saw a red card 12 minutes into the game and could not find a way back into the encounter. They have now failed to win any of their last three games in the league.
Wuhan sit fourth in the relegation round with 19 points from 19 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways when they play later this week.
Qingdao's struggle in the league continued last time out as they lost 1-0 at home to Shanghai Shenhua. They had just two shots all game and failed to hit the target both times. They have now lost four of their five games since the restart.
Qingdao sit at the bottom of the table with just 10 points from 19 games. They will be looking to begin picking up points as soon as possible to avoid the drop.
