The League One league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Beijing Renhe and Chengdu Qianbao are placed 3rd and 1st respectively.
It's no vacation for neither Beijing nor Chengdu Qianbao as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Beijing Renhe form and stats
Only two League One home games for Beijing Renhe so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Beijing Renhe are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Taizhou Yuanda. Ahead of that match, Beijing lost 1-2 at home to Nei Mongol Zhongyou.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Beijing as they are travelling to their away game against Suzhou Dongwu in the League One. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Beijing Renhe at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Chengdu Qianbao form and stats
Chengdu Qianbao are yet to lose a point on their League One travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Beijing Renhe. Chengdu Qianbao love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Chengdu play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Nei Mongol Zhongyou (placed 5th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Suzhou Dongwu.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Beijing BG.
Chengdu Qianbao have the goal stats of 4-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
