This match features two teams living in the basement of the Taiwan Football Premier League, Ming Chuan University holding 8th place and Taicheng lying 7th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ming Chuan University and Taicheng.

Ming Chuan University form and stats

Ming Chuan University have played three Taiwan Football Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Ming Chuan University drew their last game, also a home match. Taicheng (placed 7th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Preceding that match was a defeat to NTUPES (2-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Ming Chuan University perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ming Chuan University as a small favourite), we find three games. Ming Chuan University has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Ming Chuan University have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Ming Chuan University have let the opposition score 15 times, an average of more than three per game.

Taicheng form and stats

No Taiwan Football Premier League points yet away for Taicheng, from their first 2 matches. Taicheng are desperate to end a 16-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Ming Chuan University fixture.

Taicheng has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Ming Chuan University for a Taiwan Football Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Taipower wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Taicheng playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 Taicheng wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

1 goal so far away for Taicheng, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 9. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Ming Chuan University - Taicheng 1-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Ming Chuan University won 1 game, 1 match ended with a draw and Taicheng has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 1 / 2
