Possible ins or outs of this game:

Considering Shandong are in a good form in the domestic competitions, manager Li Xiaopeng may opt against flirting with his playing 11.
If a change comes, it will most likely come on the attacking flanks.

Liu Binbin and Zhang Chi are both in contention to start on the right side of the attacking midfield. The latter has been used in the league, while the former has been preferred in the AFC Champions League.
In addition, the left side will see either Liu Yang orQi Tianyu starting here. Though, we back the former to sneak ahead in line.
