Shanghai SIPG and Beijing Guoan are both riding high in the Super League with their 1st and 2nd positions respectively. Expect a great game!
It's no vacation for neither Shanghai nor Beijing Guoan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Beijing Guoan, who are travelling more than 1200 kilometers to play this game.
Shanghai SIPG form and stats
Shanghai SIPG, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Super League, have been outstanding at home so far in the Super League with 5 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. Shanghai are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
A strong away win for Shanghai against Shijiazhuang Ever Bright the last match, as Hulk were on target. Before that, Shanghai had a FA Cup home game versus Chongqing Dangdai Lifan which ended with a victory 3-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Shanghai SIPG perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Shanghai SIPG as a small favourite), we find three games. Shanghai has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.
The manager V. de Oliveira Lopes Pereira will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Chongqing Dangdai Lifan in only two days.
Shanghai SIPG are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 16 goals in 6 matches. Shanghai are not conceding a lot of goals here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.
Beijing Guoan form and stats
2-4-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Beijing Guoan, who have the most scored goals (32) in Super League, in their Super League matches away. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Beijing when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Tianjin Teda match has the points been distributed unevenly.
Beijing had fun at their own home (Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium) last time out, beating Qingdao Hainiu 5-1. Jonathan Viera (2), Cédric Bakambu and Fernando scored. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Qingdao Hainiu in the FA Cup.
As mentioned above, Beijing was the only team on the pitch versus Qingdao Hainiu in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Beijing Guoan in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Beijing, zero draws and one defeat.
A quick return to home after this game, as Beijing are hosting Shijiazhuang Ever Bright in the Super League only two days away.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 15 goals in 6 league games away this season. For Beijing, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
