Beijing Renhe and Guangzhou R&F spectators can't wait for Super League clash at Beijing Fengtai Stadium

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Guangzhou R&F when visiting Beijing Renhe as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.

Beijing Renhe can neither be promoted or relegated from Super League. Guangzhou R&F is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Beijing Renhe form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Beijing Renhe, who have the fewest scored goals (22) in Super League, have only managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses from their games here at Beijing Fengtai Stadium. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. The home stadium (Beijing Fengtai Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Beijing Renhe it's been a house of straw as the last six games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

The home team returns to Beijing Fengtai Stadium after sharing the points with Tianjin Quanjian (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Super League game ended 2-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Tianjin Teda.

A case of two points dropped for Beijing Renhe in the Tianjin Quanjian match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

This is expected to be a close game, with Beijing Renhe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Beijing Renhe as a small favourite), we find six games. Beijing Renhe has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

Beijing Renhe are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 attempts. Beijing Renhe have conceded 24 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Guangzhou R&F form and stats

Guangzhou R&F, who have the most conceded goals (64) in Super League, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-1-10 (12 played). A depressing six defeats in a row for Guangzhou R&F in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Tianjin Quanjian.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Guangzhou R&F, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Hebei CFFC (placed 13th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Shandong Luneng.

Guangzhou R&F goalkeeper Yuelei Cheng had a great day against Hebei CFFC, but despite making 10 saves the loss could not be avoided.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Guangzhou R&F playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 2 Guangzhou R&F wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
