This match features two teams living in the basement of the Super League, Dalian Professional holding 7th place and Tianjin Teda lying 8th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
The hosts Professional saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Super League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Shijiazhuang Ever Bright.
Dalian Professional form and stats
Dalian Professional's results here at Jinzhou Stadium in the Super League have been very modest with 0 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. With eight home Super League games in a row without a win, the Professional fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Shandong Luneng game long ago, can be stopped today.
Happy days for Professional in their previous game, a Super League match away at Shijiazhuang Ever Bright that ended with a 2-0 victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Shijiazhuang Ever Bright that was lost 1-2.
Professional has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Dalian Professional have conceded 12 from these games.
Tianjin Teda form and stats
Tianjin Teda have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Super League, after 0-1-6 (7 played).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Shenzhen in their previous outing. The Super League match ended in a draw 1-1. Before that, Tianjin secured a home win against Shenzhen with the score 2-0.
The attacking power of Tianjin when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Tianjin Teda are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Professional, two draws and seven wins for Tianjin Teda. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
