As the end of the season approaches, the tension in the Chinese football league is mounting. The final few games of the regular season are crucial as teams jockey for position and secure their spots in the playoffs.

One team that has been struggling all season is Tianjin Teda. After a strong start to the campaign, the club has struggled to maintain form and find consistent results. As the league enters its final stretch, Tianjin finds itself in a relegation battle with fellow strugglers Shandong Luneng.

The match between Tianjin Teda and Shandong Luneng on Sunday promises to be a tense affair. Both teams have had tough runs this season and will be desperate to secure a win. With just two games remaining, both sides will be looking to put pressure on their rivals and gain some much-needed momentum heading into the playoffs.

For Tianjin Teda, the pressure is even greater as they sit in 14th place in the table, just three points clear of the bottom three. A loss would see them face a relegation battle for the first time since 2015. The club's fans will be hoping for a strong performance from their team, but with so many talented players leaving the club over the past few years, it's not looking promising.

Meanwhile, Shandong Luneng is also fighting for survival in the league. Despite a strong start to the season, the club has faltered in recent weeks and currently sits in 17th place. A win against Tianjin Teda could give them a much-needed boost ahead of the playoffs.

With just one game left to play, the race for the top four spots in the league is heating up. Teams like Tianjin Teda and Shandong Luneng know that every point counts and any slip-up could cost them dearly. It will be interesting to see how these two teams fare in Sunday's match and whether or not they can secure a win to ensure their survival in the league.
