Shandong Taishan is expected to control the match thanks to its squad depth and diverse attacking organization, but its unstable defense might create gaps for Henan FC to exploit through quick counterattacks. Henan FC, despite lacking squad depth, possesses the ability to convert opportunities quickly and effectively, especially in situations involving long balls or counterattacks from the wings.
