It's still early in the Taiwan Football Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Taicheng - Ming Chuan University preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Taicheng form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Taiwan Football Premier League game of the season here at Ming Chuan University Taoyuan Campus. Last season these fans witnessed 1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses from Taicheng's 4 home games. It's trouble wherever Taicheng are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Heartbreak before that as Taicheng lost 2-3 at Tainan City's place.
Taicheng were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
At Ming Chuan University Taoyuan Campus, Taicheng has the goal stats of 1-6 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Ming Chuan University form and stats
The Taiwan Football Premier League season is young and Ming Chuan University have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Chuan haven't scored a league goal in the last 194 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Chuan, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Fu Jen University (placed 2nd). Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Taipower.
It's early days yet, but Ming Chuan University has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
As for the last three games between these two teams, there's one Taicheng victory, one draw and one Ming Chuan University win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Taicheng missing players
