It's early days in the Super League and both Jiangsu Suning and Shanghai Shenhua 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.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super League.
Jiangsu Suning form and stats
Only two Super League home games for Jiangsu Suning so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
It's back home for Jiangsu, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Guangzhou R&F away with the result 2-0. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Dalian Professional.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Jiangsu's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
Early season league goal statistics from Jiangsu Suning's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Shanghai Shenhua form and stats
Shanghai Shenhua are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Shanghai delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Dalian Professional (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Super League game. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Shandong Luneng.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Shanghai Shenhua when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing zero and winning one game.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Shanghai Shenhua has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 2 matches.
