Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Dalian Yifang in 10th and Guangzhou R&F in 8th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Guangzhou R&F have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Dalian Yifang form and stats

With 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Dalian Yifang are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Dalian Yifang supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Henan Jianye in Super League and win 3-1. Before that match, a win away at Beijing Renhe.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dalian Yifang have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 1 time, drawn 1 and lost 0.

The manager Choi Kang-Hee will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Guangzhou Evergrande in only four days.

Dalian Yifang are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 10 goals in 8 matches. 11 goals have been conceded.

Guangzhou R&F form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Guangzhou R&F, who have the most conceded goals (22) away in Super League, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Guangzhou R&F have lost on their last two travels.

Guangzhou R&F are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the Super League against Chongqing Dangdai Lifan. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Henan Jianye.

A new game in only four days for Guangzhou R&F, the Super League home match versus Tianjin Teda. Busy days.

Guangzhou R&F are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Guangzhou R&F concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Guangzhou R&F - Dalian Yifang 3-3. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Dalian Yifang, 3 draws and 3 wins for Guangzhou R&F. Over 2,5 goals: 7 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
