Beijing Guoan challenge Shenzhen for acclaim and victory.
Shenzhen have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Beijing Guoan and Shenzhen.
Beijing Guoan form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Beijing Guoan's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Workers' Stadium.
An away draw last time out for Beijing, facing Meizhou Hakka in a game that ended 2-2. Opportunity lost for Beijing Guoan in the Meizhou Hakka match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. The forward Zhang was announced as "man of the match" for Beijing with a rating of 8.1/10. Zhang scored two goals, hit one key pass and had 23 successful passes (of 26 total).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Tianjin Teda in a game that was won 1-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Beijing Guoan have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 5 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1.
There will be little rest for Beijing Guoan after this match as they are travelling to Shijiazhuang Ever Bright for a Super League game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Beijing Guoan at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
