Tianjin Teda hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 3 points and a 8th position in the Super League table. Visiting Shenzhen holds 5th place with 17 pts.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Tianjin Teda form and stats
Tianjin Teda's results here in the Super League have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Tianjin who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Shanghai SIPG, 80 days ago. Tianjin Teda are slowly digging their own grave here with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Shanghai SIPG match.
S. Lima was the last player to score a league goal for Tianjin Teda and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Tianjin haven't scored in 290 minutes.
Tianjin Teda drew their last game, also a home match. Wuhan Zall was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Heartbreak before that as Tianjin lost 0-3 at Qingdao Hainiu's place.
Frank Acheampong felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Wuhan Zall as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 62nd minute.
Tianjin Teda have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Tianjin Teda have conceded 12 from these games.
Shenzhen form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Shenzhen are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
The manager J. Cruijff was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre. Shenzhen suffered a 0-1 loss to Jiangsu Suning. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Dalian Yifang.
Shenzhen has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 11 goals from 7 games. 10 goals have been conceded by Shenzhen in these games.
Head 2 Head
