There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Shanghai SIPG leading Tianjin Teda by 16 points.
Shanghai SIPG and Tianjin Teda 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.
It's quite the trip for Tianjin Teda when visiting Shanghai as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.
Shanghai SIPG form and stats
Shanghai SIPG, who have the most scored goals (16) in Super League, have played 4 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-0 (wins-draws-losses).
A nice win for Shanghai SIPG last time playing, versus Chongqing Dangdai Lifan. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Beijing Guoan and winning 2-1.
Shanghai are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (10 goals in 4 games). Defensively Shanghai have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Tianjin Teda form and stats
As the visiting team in Super League matches, Tianjin Teda, who have the most conceded goals (17) in Super League, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far. With the Tianjin losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Tianjin are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Tianjin play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Wuhan Zall (placed 3rd). A 0-2 loss hosting Qingdao Hainiu before that.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Tianjin Teda's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won two of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals. Tianjin managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Tianjin manager B. Wang has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Tianjin Teda - Shanghai SIPG 1-3. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Shanghai SIPG won eight games, two matches ended with a draw and Tianjin Teda has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
