Chengdu Rongcheng host Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in the Super League, with the home side top of the table on 52 points from 26 matches, while the visitors sit 13th on 35 points. The opposite ends of the table shape this game: the hosts need three points to hold on to top spot, while the visitors are climbing on improved form of late. Chengdu Rongcheng just finished a match with a 0-0 draw, but their last five games have been open, trading blows - a 0-1 loss, a 4-5 loss and a 3-2 win - reflecting a defence that is not as steady as it should be. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, meanwhile, have won two in a row and are unbeaten in 4, with their defence clearly tighter after conceding just one goal in their last two matches. Even though their shots on target per game is lower than the hosts', having less possession does not mean their attack lacks bite, because this team is good at waiting for the moment to counter. The game is likely to open with the hosts controlling the ball and pushing high, in the style of a side that clearly dominates possession, while the visitors will sit in a block and wait to counter. The first half may stay goalless because both start cautiously, but the second half should open up more, especially late on when both teams tend to score and concede more than at other times. If the hosts still cannot break through, the game has a greater chance of ending evenly matched.
