Qingdao Zhongneng ranked No.2 with four wins and one draw in the first five rounds, and No.3 Shandong Luneng with four wins and one loss. ranked third.These two teams from Shandong became the only team to bite behind Guangzhou Evergrande after five rounds.

Although Qingdao Zhongneng is now ranked second, but this season is considered to be the most likely threat to the dominance of Guangzhou Evergrande is the former overlord of the Chinese Super League Shandong Luneng.

In fact, they also maintained a complete victory in the first four rounds of the league and started to advance with Guangzhou Evergrande, but they lost to Shanghai Shenhua away in the fifth round, leaving them three points behind Guangzhou Evergrande in points.But the competition for the league is a long process, and no one can guarantee that the state of Guangzhou Evergrande will continue to be so good.

Shandong Luneng coach Antić said in an interview with the media: "Now the league has just started, and everything is unpredictable. What we have to do is to hold on to Guangzhou Evergrande and not let them get rid of us too much. Then wait for Guangzhou Evergrande to make mistakes. Of course we can, I came here to fight for the championship for Shandong Luneng, we have a strong enough lineup!"

Three days after defeating the Urawa Red Diamonds away in the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande will usher in the first Guangzhou Derby of the season.This is considered to be where Guangzhou Evergrande is likely to lose points.
