Tianjin Teda hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 1 point and a 8th position in the Super League table. Visiting Shijiazhuang Ever Bright holds 5th place with 13 pts.
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.
Tianjin Teda form and stats
There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Tianjin Teda yet to win or draw a Super League game here. The sad story at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium is: Tianjin Teda played 4 games, lost 4 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Tianjin who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Shanghai SIPG, 51 days ago. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Shanghai SIPG game.
No payout for Tianjin Teda in their previous match, an away game at Beijing Guoan that ended in defeat 0-2. Ahead of that match, Tianjin Teda lost 1-2 at home to Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Tianjin Teda as they have a new game in only three days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Shijiazhuang Ever Bright are visiting.
Tianjin Teda aren't scoring a lot here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in the league, with only 3 goals from 4 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Tianjin Teda having conceded 10 goals here at Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium so far.
Shijiazhuang Ever Bright form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Super League travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
