This arena has grass, which is not Hong Kong FC's normal surface at their own pitch. When appearing on grass Hong Kong FC have performed like this: Played eleven matches resulting in 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats with the goal data 9-24 (scored/conceded).
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning extra stress and importance.
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.
