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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Henan Jianye have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Guangzhou Evergrande form and stats

Overall Super League stats at home this season for Guangzhou Evergrande, who have the most scored goals (27) in Super League, are 4-1-0 (wins-draw-losses). Ever since the Guangzhou R&F game Guangzhou Evergrande has been unbeatable here at Tianhe Stadium producing four straight wins.

A nice win for Evergrande last time playing, versus Shijiazhuang Ever Bright. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-2 with Shihao Wei (2) and Ricardo Goulart (3) scoring for the victors. Ricardo Goulart, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 9.35 (out of 10). Goulart scored three goals, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 60 successful passes (of 66 total). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? What a game it was for Ricardo Goulart when beating Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

Heartbreak before that as Guangzhou Evergrande lost 1-2 at Shenzhen's place.
