An important duel in the bottom section of the Taiwan Football Premier League, with both Ming Chuan University and Taicheng experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 8th and the visitors in 7th place.
Ming Chuan University form and stats
Ming Chuan University's struggle is real here at Ming Chuan University Taoyuan Campus with only 4 points collected from 13 Taiwan Football Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-11. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. With ten home Taiwan Football Premier League games in a row without a win, the Chuan fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Taicheng game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Ming Chuan University fans got no joy from their last match, a Taiwan Football Premier League game also here at Ming Chuan University Taoyuan Campus: A 2-3 defeat against Fu Jen University (placed 4th). Before that game, the home loss against NTUPES with the scoreline 0-2.
The Chuan fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Chuan with 29 goals conceded in these matches.
Taicheng form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Taicheng, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Taiwan Football Premier League, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-11 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Taicheng manager, as the last three away games were defeats. Three has not been a lucky number for Taicheng as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Fu Jen University match.
Taicheng have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago.
Taicheng lost away at Taipower (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tatung wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
The visitors have scored 13 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Taicheng are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 13 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Ming Chuan University and Taicheng have met before this season: Ming Chuan University - Taicheng 1-1. Last five meetings between the teams: Chuan won two, Taicheng won one and two draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Ming Chuan University missing players
