With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Wuhan Zall fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Tianjin Teda.
Tianjin Teda could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Super League game only four sleeps ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Tianjin Teda have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Wuhan Zall form and stats
Perfect Super League season at home so far for Wuhan Zall, who have the most points (9) at home in Super League, 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Wuhan lost their last game at Hebei CFFC (placed 4th) after a 1-3 scoreline. Before that, Wuhan had a home game versus Chongqing Dangdai Lifan which ended with a victory 2-0.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Wuhan Zall's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Wuhan's attacking play is working. Wuhan have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Tianjin Teda form and stats
The Super League season is young and Tianjin Teda, who have the most conceded goals (15) in Super League, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for Tianjin who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Chongqing Dangdai Lifan was the last time a defeat was avoided. Tianjin has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The attacking players of Tianjin Teda have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 299 minutes.
The manager B. Wang was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium. Tianjin suffered a 0-2 loss to Qingdao Hainiu (placed 5th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hebei CFFC wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tianjin playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Tianjin Teda, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: one win for Wuhan, two draws and two wins for Tianjin Teda. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
