Dalian Professional hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 8th position in the Super League table. Visiting Beijing Guoan holds 5th place with 11 pts.

Insights:
  • Dalian Professional have the fewest scored goals in the first half (1) in Super League
  • Beijing Guoan have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Beijing Guoan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
