Negative30%
Qingdao West Coast is struggling in defense, with 15 goals conceded (an average of 1.5 per game) and no clean sheets, highlighting a lack of defensive solidity
The high number of yellow cards (21 cards in 10 games, average 2.1 per game) reflects poor discipline in play, especially in games with many collisions, which could affect the match outcome.
The playing style depends on luck, with many wins coming from second-half goals (e.g., 2-1 against Shanghai Port, 3-1 against Zhejiang Professional FC), instead of maintaining continuous control of the game
Effective counter-attacking ability (RF 42.42%) is not sufficient to compensate for defensive instability, leading to several heavy losses (e.g., 3-0 against Shenzhen Peng City)
