It's still early in the Taiwan Football Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Tainan City - Taicheng preview!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Tainan City form and stats
Tainan City's first Taiwan Football Premier League home game here at Tainan Municipal Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 5 matches.
Before that match, a win away at Ming Chuan University.
Everyone expects Tainan to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found 43 games: 13 home wins, six draws and 24 defeats. Tainan City have won with at least two goals margin seven times in similar situations.
At Tainan Municipal Stadium, Tainan City has the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Taicheng form and stats
It's not happening yet for Taicheng on their Taiwan Football Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Taicheng has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Taicheng haven't scored a league goal in the last 208 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Taicheng, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Tatung in the Taiwan Football Premier League. Prior to that match, the Taicheng manager faced defeat when travelling to Fu Jen University and losing 0-4.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Tatung was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Taicheng are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 18 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were five wins, two draws and eleven defeats. Of the defeats, ten games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Taicheng have the goal stats of 0-8 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last six meetings: five - zero - one (Tainan wins - draws - Taicheng wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.Tainan City missing players
