Shandong Luneng is at the 12th spot of the current league table and is struggling to find its winning form as the team had lost four of its first seven matches this term.

In their most recent CSL game, Taishan Dui succumbed to a sorry 2-3 loss to a visiting Guangzhou R&F FC team also at their home field of Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium on April 29th for their second consecutive defeat, as reported by China.org.

Guangzhou midfielder Lu Lin scored the first goal of the contest at the 26th minute, which was immediately equalized by Shandong defender Dai Lin two minutes later.

Head coach Mano Menezes's boys then grabbed the lead with a goal in the 52nd courtesy of winger Wang Yongpo.

However, the Blue Lions managed to string two straight goals in a span of a minute, at the 62nd and 63rd marks from Xiao Zhi and Lu's second respectively, to steal the win from the hosts and the three points in the overall standings.

Meanwhile, Tianjin Teda pulled off an impressive 2-0 victory over Shijiazhuang Ever Bright at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium last Sunday, as per Soccerway.

Colombian import Fredy Montero scored a brace, at the ninth and 45th minutes, to lead manager Dragan Okuka's side to only their second win this season so far. The victory also snapped the Tigers two-game winless slide.

The predicted result is a 2-0 bounce back win for Shandong Luneng.
