Guangzhou R&F form and stats
Guangzhou R&F have played 4 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Guangzhou R&F.
The spoils were shared in Guangzhou's previous game, also at home. Visiting Henan Jianye (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Miao Tang was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.04 out of 10. The defender Tang hit three key passes and won 4 of 7 duels. A painful moment in the game against Henan Jianye was the missed penalty kick from Guilherme in the 78th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Shandong Luneng that finished 0-0.The manager J. van Gastel will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Chongqing Dangdai Lifan in only three days.
Guangzhou have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Yuexiushan Stadium with 6 goals in 4 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Guangzhou defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
