It's early days in the Taiwan Football Premier League and both Tainan City and NTUPES are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Tainan City form and stats
Three Taiwan Football Premier League home games done for Tainan City, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
The Tainan crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Taichung Futuro here at Tainan Municipal Stadium in a Taiwan Football Premier League match. Ahead of that match, Tainan won a home game hosting Taicheng (3-2).
Tainan City has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Tainan's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
NTUPES form and stats
No Taiwan Football Premier League points yet away for NTUPES, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the NTUPES manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
NTUPES play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-5 to Tatung (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fu Jen University wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
NTUPES lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting NTUPES as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. NTUPES can't defend away. 9 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
