Shandong Taishan will be looking to make it five wins in a row in the Chinese Super League championship phase as they face Hebei at the Yuexiushan Stadium on Sunday.
Shandong Taishan are on a 15-game winning streak across all competitions, a run stretching back to July. They secured a comeback win against Changchun Yatai in their previous outing on Wednesday, beating them 2-1 at the Huadu Stadium.
Hebei are winless since the restart earlier this month and have played two draws and suffered two losses in their four outings. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Guangzhou City on Wednesday. As things stand, they have been ruled out of contention for the league title.
