This has all the signs of another intriguing run-in at Mong Kok Stadium in the Premier League. Eastern is in 3rd place and receive Tai Chung in 7th place. Read all about the game here!
This has all the signs of an engaging game with lots of fun and bustle as both participants are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's go!
3-2-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tai Chung when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 9-22 (scored/conceded).
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Eastern form and stats
Eastern have only played one Premier League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats from 1 matches.
Eastern's last game was hosting Rangers (placed 4th) and winning 4-2. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Kitchee.It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Eastern at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Tai Chung form and stats
The manager J. Esteva Pomares was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Po Kong Village Road Park 2. Chung suffered a 0-4 loss to Southern District (placed 2nd). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Southern District was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A 3-5 loss hosting Rangers before that.Head 2 Head
Statistics for the previous four meetings featuring these two teams are: two wins for Eastern, two draws and zero wins for Tai Chung. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
