The spoils were shared in Beijing's previous game, also at home. Visiting Shandong Luneng (placed 1st) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. The Beijing goalkeeper Hou was crucial in the match against Shandong Luneng last time out, making six saves. The forward Silva was announced as "man of the match" for Beijing Guoan with a rating of 8.2/10. Silva scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Guangzhou R&F form and stats
The Super League season is young and Guangzhou R&F have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Shanghai SIPG proved too strong as Guangzhou slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Yuexiushan Stadium. It's worrying for Guangzhou that their goalie Han made eight saves in the Shanghai SIPG match, but still could not save them from a loss. Goalkeeper Han got the top player rating of the team with 8.34/10. Han stopped the opponent with eight saves.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Changchun Yatai's place.After this away game Guangzhou return home for a Super League game against Hebei CFFC. That game is only two sleeps after this.
