The visiting Shanghai SIPG side should be favourites in this visit to Beijing Renhe, as the away team holds a 49 point advantage from their 29 league games this season.
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 Renhe and Shanghai SIPG.
It's quite the trip for Shanghai SIPG when visiting Beijing Renhe as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.
Beijing Renhe form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Beijing Renhe have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 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 17 attempts. Beijing Renhe are slowly digging their own grave here at Beijing Fengtai Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Tianjin Quanjian match.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Shanghai SIPG in the Super League last time out and are looking for a win here. Ahead of that match, Beijing Renhe lost 2-3 at home to Jiangsu Suning.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of points are very slim. When Beijing Renhe have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 0 from one game. 0 defeats by at least two goals.

Shanghai SIPG form and stats

As mentioned earlier, Shanghai SIPG will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 1 win (1 by two or more goals winning margin), 1 draw and 0 surprising defeats.
