It's early days in the Super League and both Shenzhen and Guangzhou Evergrande 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.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Shenzhen form and stats
Shenzhen have only played one Super League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from 15 matches.
Shenzhen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Shanghai Shenhua. Before that, Shenzhen had a home game versus Guangzhou R&F which ended with a victory 3-0.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Shenzhen at home in the league. 3 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Guangzhou Evergrande form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Super League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 13 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches.
279 minutes! That's how long the Evergrande goalkeeper Dianzuo Liu and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It's the second away game in a row for Evergrande, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Guangzhou R&F (placed 8th) in the Super League last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Shanghai Shenhua.
As mentioned above, Evergrande was the only team on the pitch versus Guangzhou R&F in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
It's early days yet, but Guangzhou Evergrande has scored 5 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Shenzhen, one draw and seven wins for Guangzhou Evergrande. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
