Going into this game, Changchun Yatai FC played host to Qingdao Hainiu FC at the Changchun Sports Center, and while it was a highly anticipated match that promised to be a thriller, that wasn't the case this time around as it was a dull and boring match that witnessed them eke out a 1:0 victory thanks to Tan Long's first-half goal in the 29th minute.

Prior to that, they were involved in a six-goal thriller in a match against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC on the road, and they managed to walk away with all three points in the bag following a convincing 4:2 triumph. In that match, they managed 54% of ball possession and registered 22 attempts at goal, with 10 finding the target, and there's no doubt that they were the better side on paper.

Chen Yang's men have only suffered one loss at home against Meizhou Hakka FC (4:2) while recording two wins and a draw to accumulate seven points, which has seen them in consistent form. With home advantage at their disposal, there's no doubt that they'll want to extend their winning streak to two matches.

They currently occupy fourth place with 17 points, have maintained a two-point lead over Tianjin Teda in fifth place, and are only a point behind third place, making collecting all three points here crucial if they are to finish in third place at the game's conclusion.

Going into this game, the Red Eagles were behind another impressive performance in their recent match against Henan FC at home, which saw goals from Wang Shenchao, Oscar, and Wu Lei eke out a 3:2 victory to bag all three points. With this win, they extended their unbeaten run at home to four matches.

Prior to that, they made the trip to Wuhua Olympic Sports Center Huitang Stadium to lock horns with Meizhou Hakka FC, and they had no trouble cruising to a comfortable 2:0 triumph thanks to goals from Wenjun Lü and Wu Lei. In that match, there's no doubt that they were the superior side in all facets of the game, with 61% of ball possession.

Away from home, they've been in consistent form, as they have yet to suffer defeat in their last five matches, where four wins and a draw have been recorded to accumulate 13 points. During this period, they kept four clean sheets and only conceded on one occasion in a 2:1 win against Zhejiang Professional FC, and it goes without saying that they'll be eyeing to extend their unbeaten run to six matches while putting forth a solid defense.

They currently occupy first place with 23 points and are three points ahead of Chengdu Rongcheng FC in second place, and collecting all three points will all but mean one thing: consolidate their position.
