Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tianjin Teda & Beijing BG face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This looks to be an absorbing fixture with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well revitalized since they last played a game. Bring it on!
Tianjin Teda form and stats
Tianjin was eliminated in the semi-finals last season in the FA Cup. Jiangsu Suning was too strong.With 2 Super League wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Tianjin Teda are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The fans are hoping that Tianjin will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Super League game against Shanghai SIPG. Tianjin were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Midfielder Yingjie Zhao was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.02 (out of ten) in that game. Zhao hit one key pass and had 31 successful passes (of 37 total).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Shanghai Shenhua (0-1).Tianjin has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. As for conceded goals, Tianjin's unpleasant statistic is 19 goals surrendered.
