Behind the goal line, Bao Yaxiong will solidly guard Shanghai Shenhua's gate. In terms of defense layout, Slutsky is expected to maintain the classic four-guard formation, with the missing Zhu Chenjie expected to make a strong comeback and form a tacit center-back combination with Jiang Shenglong; while the two foreign wings, Manafa and Yang Zexiang, will guard the left and right flanks respectively. !

Ibrahim Amadou, the French ironman, is expected to partner Wu Xi in a solid double-back defense. In front of them, Han Chao, Joao Teixeira and Andre Luiz will team up to build a strong attacking line, creating threats up front with their individual skills, providing the team's strikers with accurate passes and deadly strikes. On the bench, naturalized player Dai Weijun and decorated veteran Cao Yunding may also be ready to play at any time. !

Based on the above analysis, Shanghai Shenhua's starting lineup for the match against Qingdao West Coast is expected to be as follows: Bao Yaxiong; Manafa, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Yang Zexiang; Ibrahim Amadou, Wu Xi; Yu Hanchao, Joao Teixeira, André Luis; Mallet.
