Tai Chung form and stats

Tai Chung's results here at Tsing Yi Sports Ground in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 0 draws and 5 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Tai Chung with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Southern District game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Chung manager J. Esteva Pomares might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Kitchee.

The lack of attacking qualities in Chung means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. As for conceded goals, Chung's unpleasant statistic is 16 goals surrendered.
