Taishan have skillfully avoided a collision of fixtures in their AFC Champions League and Chinese Super League campaigns this season. The Football Association (FA) has anticipated this in its careful planning of the fixtures, deliberately reserving valuable time for the AFC Champions League Quarter-Finals and ensuring that there is a three-day buffer between each match, an arrangement that is fully in line with FIFA's relevant regulations. The first three matches are scheduled to be played at home, and the advantage of playing at home will undoubtedly give Taishan a boost. The fourth match on the road will give the team more than three days of rest before the encounter with Yokohama, which is undoubtedly sufficient preparation time for the team.
