It's early days in the Super League and both Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for Jiangsu Suning when visiting Evergrande as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
Guangzhou Evergrande form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Guangzhou Evergrande's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Dalian Sports Center.
Guangzhou Evergrande enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Henan Jianye's place. The match ended 3-1. Ahead of that match, Guangzhou Evergrande lost 0-1 at home to Shandong Luneng.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.

Jiangsu Suning form and stats
