Shandong Taishan vs Qingdao Jonoon Prediction 14 August 2026
🔊 On paper, the picture looks fairly straightforward: Shandong are in the upper half of the table, while Qingdao are at the bottom and come into this match on a run of five consecutive defeats. But their meetings this year add some intrigue. It is Qingdao who have won the last two head-to-head matches, and in the most recent one they did so very convincingly (4:1). So the hosts here need not only to continue their push for the top positions, but also to finally turn around an unfavourable pattern in this rivalry.

The visitors are in a very different position. After 22 matches they have just 14 points, and their losing streak has now stretched to five rounds. In their last three matches the team has failed to score, and they have been conceding for 18 matches in a row. The main burden once again falls on Mou Pengfei, who constantly has to bail out his teammates after defensive errors. In attack, Qingdao are relying on the individual play of Yo Eboa and Malcolm Ejuma, but so far that has not been enough to get out of the crisis. Milan Ristić continues to look for a more reliable combination in the defensive line.
