The Super League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Guangzhou R&F and Shenzhen promises to be an interesting one.
- Guangzhou R&F have the most scored goals (6) in Super League
Guangzhou R&F and Shenzhen should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Guangzhou R&F form and stats
The story so far in the Super League for Guangzhou R&F, who have the most scored goals (6) in Super League, at their home stadium (Yuexiushan Stadium) is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
Guangzhou are returning here after visiting Qingdao Hainiu in a Super League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Tiago Leonço scored the goal(s). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Chongqing Dangdai Lifan in a game that was won 3-1.
Manager J. van Gastel felt very clever after Tiago Leonço scored the winning goal against Qingdao Hainiu, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 71st minute.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Guangzhou R&F at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Shenzhen form and stats
Things could have gone better for Shenzhen in their Super League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Kardec Alan was the last player to score for the away team. Shenzhen haven't scored a league goal in the last 216 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Shenzhen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Guangzhou Evergrande (placed 3rd). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Qingdao Hainiu.
2 goals so far away for Shenzhen, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): Guangzhou R&F won one game, zero matches ended with a draw and Shenzhen has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / oneTop Goalscorers
