The visiting Beijing Guoan side should be favourites in this visit to Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, as the away team holds a 7 point advantage from their six league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Shijiazhuang Ever Bright form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Shijiazhuang Ever Bright's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium.
In their previous game, the manager A. Ghotbi led his Shijiazhuang to a defeat in the Super League match away at Chongqing Dangdai Lifan. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium. 1-1 away at Shanghai SIPG before that.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Shijiazhuang as they have a new game in only four days, a Super League match thankfully also at home. Hebei CFFC are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Shijiazhuang Ever Bright at home in the league. 5 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Beijing Guoan form and stats
The seven points Beijing Guoan have gathered from their first three away trips in the Super League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
Beijing's previous game was their home loss versus Shanghai SIPG (1-2). Before that, Beijing travelled to Qingdao Hainiu and returned home with a draw after the game finished 3-3.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 8 goals in 3 league games away this season. Beijing have conceded 5 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Shijiazhuang, two draws and zero wins for Beijing Guoan. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
