Game week two of the Super League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Changchun Yatai - Tianjin Teda preview:
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 Tianjin Teda when visiting Changchun Yatai as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Changchun Yatai form and stats
Changchun has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Zhenjiang Huasa defeat 218 days ago.
A strong away win for Changchun against Dalian Yifang the last match, as Junior Negao and Erik were on target. Prior to that, an away loss at Tianjin Teda in the FA Cup.
Last season, Changchun Yatai's league statistics were 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, resulting in a 1st position in the League One. Over these five matches they scored 8 goals and conceded 0. Playing at home last season Changchun Yatai managed 2-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 3 goals and 0 conceded.
Tianjin Teda form and stats
Tianjin Teda failed to get anything from their last game, a Super League home match vs Shanghai SIPG (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-6. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Jiangsu Suning (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties).
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Shanghai SIPG was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Let's have a look at how Tianjin Teda performed last season in the Super League: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 0 victories, 3 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 8 and conceded 30 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 1 and lost 6 with 4/18 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Changchun Yatai, six draws and three wins for Tianjin Teda. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
