It's a fresh Super League campaign and Meizhou Hakka are aching to get started here at Huitang Stadium. Tianjin Teda are guesting and this should be a thrilling season opening night.
Tianjin Teda have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
