Game week two of the Super League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Chongqing Dangdai Lifan - 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Tianjin Teda have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
