Tianjin Teda – Henan Jianye Prediction & Picks (10.08.2018)

Tianjin Teda and Henan Jianye meet at Tianjin Tuanbo Soccer Stadium, in a match for the 17th round of the CSL. In the last head-to-head for this edition of the league, played on 03-11-2018, Henan Jianye won home (1-0). The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years is favorable to the visiting team, which in the last 8 matches won 3, drew 3 and lost 2. The home / away condition deserves particular attention, since despite this being a match between 8th and 13th of the league table, in fact it is a match between the 12th classified in home matches and the 9th as a visitor.

Tianjin Teda:

The home team is currently in the 8 th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Guangzhou Evergrande, by (0-3). In the last match, they won in an away match against Hebei CFFC, by (1-2). This is a team that usually gets more positive results in away matches than at home, since they have won 11 points in away matches and 10 at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 10 conceded in away matches, against 13 goals scored and 12 conceded at home. For the league, Tianjin Teda won 10 points out of 21 possible points, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 7 home matches. The team has conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 14 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches in this competition, they only got 2 comebacks in the 9 matches in which they suffered the first goal. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 13 goals between minutes (16′-30 ‘); He suffered 6 of his 12 goals between the minutes (76’-90 ‘).

The Tianjin Teda is a club that never managed to conquer the Super League (Chinese Championship), having as its best campaign throughout its history the second position conquered in 2010. In the current season, the team has been doing an irregular campaign, conquering 21 of the 48 points played so far by the Chinese Championship. That is why he currently occupies the eighth position in the national competition, nine points behind the third classified and eight points ahead of the relegation zone. In the last five games that Tianjin Teda played in their stadium, they all scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match the pattern will be repeated, since Tianjin will be playing at home, where it is very strong, against a technically weaker team that is at the bottom of the table.

Henan Jianye:

After 5 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, the away team is currently in the 13 th position of the league, with 18 points won. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Tianjin Quanjian by (1-2), after in the previous match they have lost at home, in a match against Jiangsu Suning, by (0-1). Interestingly, this is a team that has conquered more positive results outside its stadium, since it has won 10 points as a visitor and only 8 in its stadium. In the last 8 away league matches Henan Jianye has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 24 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results at half-time: 0-1 (4 out of 8 matches) and 1-0 (3 out of 8 matches). The team has conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, so they have not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 10 games in which he suffered the first goal. In the last 9 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (46′-60 ‘).

Henan Jianye club never won a title of the Chinese Super League (First Division), but was champion of the Chinese League (Second Division) in 2013, when he won access to the elite of Chinese football. What it gives to perceive of the Henan Jianye games away from home is that the team has achieved good results, despite having lost the first three games away from home, as it managed to present a more effective position in their matches in this condition , so in the last five games he won ten of the fifteen points played, with three wins, one draw and one defeat. A very important detail is that he always scored goals in these last five away games, but he also suffered goals in four. So, we believe that this pattern will repeat itself.
