Approaching this match, Nantong Zhiyun have won one of their last ten league matches (L6, D3), indicating a side that has been plagued with inconsistency. In the previous round, they lost 1-0 to Chengdu Rongcheng FC at home. This result thwarted their chances of extending their unbeaten run to three matches.
