This match features two teams living in the basement of the League One, Nei Mongol Zhongyou holding 5th place and Suzhou Dongwu lying 6th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's no vacation for neither Nei Mongol Zhongyou 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.

Suzhou Dongwu form and stats
It's not happening yet for Suzhou Dongwu on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Suzhou are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Suzhou's previous game was their home loss versus Beijing Renhe (0-2). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Taizhou Yuanda.
After this away game Suzhou return home for a League One game against Chengdu Qianbao. That game is only three sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Suzhou's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Suzhou in these games.
