Guangzhou Evergrande are putting faith in their home crowd to aid them when playing this game with Changchun Yatai. Who will win at Jinjiang Sports Center?

Insights:
  • Guangzhou Evergrande have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
  • Changchun Yatai have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Relegation threatens Evergrande who should definitely be looking for some points here. Changchun Yatai is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Evergrande and Changchun Yatai.

Changchun Yatai form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Super League travels is 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Changchun Yatai have lost on their last two travels.

The attacking players of Changchun Yatai have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 259 minutes.

Two away games in a row for Changchun Yatai, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Meizhou Hakka. Defender Sun was the best team player with a rating of 7.43. Sun won 6 of 8 duels.

A 0-3 defeat away at Beijing Guoan before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Changchun manager Chen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Shanghai SIPG.
