Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Taipei Municipal Stadium clash with Taicheng, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Taiwan Football Premier League table.
It's no vacation for neither Tatung nor Taicheng as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Tatung form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Tatung's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Taipei Municipal Stadium. Tatung has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Taipower defeat. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Taipei Municipal Stadium.Tatung's previous game was a Taiwan Football Premier League match also played at home, ending 5-0 versus Taicheng. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the preceding match a 6-1 victory visiting Ming Chuan University.

Taicheng form and stats
It's not happening yet for Taicheng on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Taicheng, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Ming Chuan University game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Taicheng as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the NTUPES.Taicheng play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-5 to Tatung. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Taichung Futuro.
Nobody expects Taicheng to collect points from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 15 times before, with the overall statistics of won 5, draw 1 and lost 9. When defeated, 8 matches have been lost by two or more goals.
It's early days yet, but Taicheng has scored 1 and conceded 9 goals from their travels so far (2 games).
