Super League: Tipsway are expecting an absorbing and important duel featuring Guangzhou Evergrande and Dalian Professional at Tianhe Stadium. Both are in need of a good run!
- Guangzhou Evergrande have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- Dalian Professional have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Super League
Dalian Professional 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.
The hosts Evergrande saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Super League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Shenzhen, was also a home game here at Tianhe Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Guangzhou Evergrande form and stats
With 2 Super League wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Guangzhou Evergrande are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Guangzhou Evergrande hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, Guangzhou R&F, Hebei CFFC, Shenzhen and Guangzhou Evergrande), they have won 2 of 2 matches!
A nice win for Guangzhou Evergrande last time playing, versus Shenzhen. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1 with Yang and Wei (2) scoring for the victors. Wei, an attacker, was the top performer for the team in that fixture, earning a rating of 8.6 (out of 10). Wei scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).
Preceding that match was the home game against Chengdu Qianbao that was lost 1-2.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Evergrande have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 8 from 8 games. 4 defeats by at least two goals.
Guangzhou Evergrande are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Henan Jianye awaits in four days.
8 goals have been conceded.
Dalian Professional form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Super League.
Shang and Lin scored in Professional's previous match, the home game against Shijiazhuang Ever Bright that ended 2-0. That win felt nice as this club had gone four league matches without victory. Lin, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.75. Lin scored one goal and hit two key passes.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Shanghai SIPG.The schedule is very tough for Dalian Professional now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super League game at Meizhou Hakka is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Dalian Professional have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. In the opposite end, Professional have conceded 8 goals in their away games.
