Guangzhou R&F form and stats
It's not happening yet for Guangzhou R&F on their Super League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different?

It's been 4 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Changchun Yatai game.)
The attacking players of Guangzhou R&F have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 232 minutes.
Guangzhou are travelling again after losing away to Shandong Luneng in their previous match (0-2).

Jiang, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.03. Jiang won 4 of 10 duels.
A 0-3 loss hosting Dalian Professional before that.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Hangzhou.
