The Beijing Guoan & Guangzhou Evergrande managers B. Génésio and F. Cannavaro are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Super League league table.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Guangzhou Evergrande, who are travelling more than 2100 kilometers to play this game.
Beijing Guoan form and stats
Beijing Guoan, who have the most scored goals (36) in Super League, have been very solid at home in the Super League so far, with 18 points collected from 7 matches (6-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. Beijing has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium. We remember; it was Shanghai SIPG.
Beijing's last game was hosting Shandong Luneng and winning 2-1. 2-2 away at Shandong Luneng before that.
Beijing are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 21 goals in 7 matches. Beijing are not conceding a lot of goals here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.
Guangzhou Evergrande form and stats
Guangzhou Evergrande's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Guangzhou Evergrande collect 16 points from their 7 away matches in the Super League. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
The supporters enjoyed Evergrande's previous game versus Hebei CFFC, a Super League 5-0 win played at home. Prior to that result Evergrande won their away game at Hebei CFFC. The scoreline was 3-1.
As mentioned above, Evergrande was the only team on the pitch versus Hebei CFFC in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. Goalkeeper Dianzuo Liu was absolutely vital in the Guangzhou Evergrande victory against Hebei CFFC, making eight saves.
Evergrande are a potent attacking force on the road with their 20 goals in 7 league games. As opposed to that, Evergrande have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
