Guangzhou R&F form and stats
1-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Guangzhou R&F so far this season. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Yuexiushan Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Guangzhou R&F.
Guangzhou lost their last game at Chongqing Dangdai Lifan (placed 6th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Midfield player Mousa Dembélé got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Dembélé hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 55 successful passes (of 61 total). As you see from the result above, Guangzhou suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
In the match before that, Guangzhou R&F hosted Guangzhou Evergrande and drew the game 3-3.There will be little rest for Guangzhou R&F after this match as they are travelling to Shenzhen for a Super League game in only three days.
