Zhejiang can no longer reach the medals, but it was they who thrashed Shandong 4-1 back in May, despite falling behind. Can Tang Tian's side get their revenge?

Shandong Luneng Taishan Team Overview
Shandong Taishan's last Super League match ended in a 1-1 away draw with Chongqing Tonglianglong. Trailing at half-time, they equalised and finished the game with a clear advantage in shots - 16 to 5.
Shandong Taishan have shown a knack for coming from behind in recent Super League matches. At the end of August they were losing to Shanghai Shenhua at the break but still took all three points. Last round they were chasing the game again: Chongqing Tonglianluneng went ahead on 25 minutes. Two Shandong goals were ruled out for offside, and another effort struck the post. It was not until the second half that Georgian forward Valeri Kazaishvili equalised with a header.
"The result is a little frustrating - we couldn't get the win - but I'm very pleased with the team's attitude," said Tang Tian, who has been acting head coach since the end of July. The point in Chongqing was earned without two strikers: Crișan was serving a suspension following a red card, while Zeca missed the match through injury, according to local media.

Total Goals Prediction
Matches between Shandong Taishan and Zhejiang are never dull: their last eight head-to-head meetings in a row have all produced at least three goals. The seasonal numbers point in the same direction. Shandong Taishan are free-scoring at home, Zhejiang contribute at the other end away from home, and neither side can boast a reliable defence. We're expecting at least three goals. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5.
Corners Prediction
Shandong Taishan don't win many corners: they had more than five in only one of their last seven Super League matches. The bet holds even if the hosts win exactly five. The pick is Shandong Taishan Team Total Corners - Under 5.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the top three most likely outcomes are: 2:1 (9.79%), 1:1 (9.19%) and 2:2 (7.05%). A narrow win for Shandong Taishan looks the most probable result.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Shandong Taishan have won six consecutive head-to-head meetings against Zhejiang. In their last ten Super League home matches, the hosts have dropped points only once. Zhejiang, meanwhile, are without a win in seven consecutive away games. Shandong also need a result in the race for third place, while a medal finish is already out of reach for the visitors. That said, Zhejiang should still get on the scoresheet - Ross Aloisi's side have scored in ten consecutive away matches. We expect Shandong to win by a single goal. The bet is Shandong Taishan to win. Predicted score: 2-1.
