The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Tianjin Teda are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 15th.
Shenzhen have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Tianjin Teda are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Shenzhen is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Shenzhen form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shenzhen, who have the fewest scored goals (7) away in Super League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-10 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.
There were no winners in Shenzhen's previous match, a Super League home game that ended 4-4 vs Wuhan Zall (placed 6th). A loss against Guangzhou Evergrande was the result prior to that, in a home game.
A comeback secured a point in the match against Wuhan Zall. Shenzhen were trailing 0-3 but refused surrender and clawed their way back to 4-4, with Wang Chengkuai scoring the equalizer. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Shenzhen, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Henan Jianye in just four days.
The attacking power of Shenzhen when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Shenzhen have conceded 25 goals in these games.
