Competition: China PR Super League

Match begins: 11:35 (UTC)
Venue: Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre (60334 seats)

The visiting Shanghai SIPG side should be favourites in this visit to Shenzhen, as the away team holds a 25 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither Shenzhen nor Shanghai SIPG 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.

Shanghai SIPG have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Shanghai SIPG form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Shanghai SIPG so far, with 6-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Ulsan game have they lost an away game, meaning Shanghai SIPG has taken points from ten away matches in a row.

It's the second away game in a row for Shanghai SIPG, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Shenzhen in the Super League last time out. Ahead of that match was the AFC Champions League away draw versus Jeonbuk Motors that ended 1-1.

The travelling fans enjoy Shanghai SIPG's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 7 away matches. Shanghai SIPG's manager Vítor Pereira has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
