It's early days in the League One and both Chengdu Qianbao and Suzhou Dongwu are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Chengdu nor Suzhou Dongwu 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.
Chengdu Qianbao form and stats
As mentioned below, Chengdu Qianbao are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 League One games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Dujiangyan Sports Center Stadium.
A good away victory last time out for Chengdu, who won 2-1 against Taizhou Yuanda (placed 2nd). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Beijing BG.
There will be little rest for Chengdu after this match as they are travelling to Nei Mongol Zhongyou for a League One game in only three days.
At Dujiangyan Sports Center Stadium, Chengdu Qianbao has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Suzhou Dongwu form and stats
It's not happening yet for Suzhou Dongwu on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Suzhou are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Naldinho was the last player to score for the away team. Suzhou haven't scored a league goal in the last 270 minutes.
Suzhou's last game was the home draw against Nei Mongol Zhongyou (0-0). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Beijing Renhe wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
A quick return to home after this game, as Suzhou Dongwu are hosting Beijing BG in the League One only three days away.
0 goals so far away for Suzhou Dongwu, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
