The game would start at 7:35 p.m. UTC+8. It can be viewed live online through FuboTV.

Beijing Guoan is on a four-game unbeaten run at the moment, which was capped by a 3-0 thrashing of Yanbian Funde on Wednesday.

Turkish striker Burak Yilmaz led the attack for head coach Xie Feng's team, scoring a double in the 10th and 22nd minutes.

Brazilian midfielder Renato Augusto netted the team's third goal in the 36th to seal the victory for the Imperial Guards.

The win pushed Beijing up to the top five of the league table after hanging out in the bottom half of the standings for most of the season.

Meanwhile, Shandong Luneng is still struggling to find momentum late in the season and are in danger of being relegated to China League One next season.

After a short two-game winning run, head coach Felix Magath's squad has been winless in their last two matches.

Their most recent game ended in a sorry 1-2 loss to Henan Jianye at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium last Sunday, according to Sofa Score.

Senegalese striker Papiss Cissé started the game up front and scored the opening goal in the 10th minute, but it was all Taishan Dui could produce in the game as the Red Devils came from behind to take the win.
