Qingdao FC vs Dalian Pro Prediction

Dalian Pro have been the better side over the last few months and have a slight edge heading into the game.

However, Qingdao FC's victory at the weekend would have boosted the confidence of the players and this could spur them to up the ante in their quest for survival. Although one side could nick this one, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a slow-scoring draw.

Prediction: Qingdao FC 1-1 Dalian Pro
