On August 9th at 7:35 PM, Shenzhen Pengcheng will host Chengdu Rongcheng in a unique Sichuan derby in Round 22 of the Chinese Super League. Shenzhen Pengcheng are looking to continue their recent undefeated run at home, while Chengdu Rongcheng are aiming to double their victory over their opponents.
Shenzhen Pengcheng have a record of 6 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses in their 22 matches, placing them 10th in the league table, 6 points ahead of the relegation zone and facing no immediate threat of relegation. In their 11 home games, Shenzhen Pengcheng have achieved a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 11 goals and conceding 22.
Chengdu Rongcheng have a record of 15 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their 22 matches, placing them 3rd in the league table, 5 points behind 2nd-placed Shanghai Shenhua and 8 points ahead of 4th-placed Beijing Guoan. In their 11 away games, Chengdu Rongcheng have secured 6 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, scoring 21 goals and conceding 13.
Shenzhen Pengcheng have recorded 2 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 5 league matches, suffering their first defeat recently in the last round with a 1-4 loss to Wuhan Three Towns. However, in their recent 4 home games, Shenzhen Pengcheng have achieved 3 wins and 1 draw, although only 2 of those matches have resulted in clean sheets.
Chengdu Rongcheng have been unbeaten for 9 consecutive matches, achieving 7 wins and 2 draws. In their last 5 away league games, Chengdu Rongcheng have secured 3 wins and 2 draws, but only 1 of these 5 matches has ended in a clean sheet, with a 1-0 victory against Nantong Zhiyun.
Shenzhen Pengcheng’s striker Edu Garcia has scored 8 goals, placing him 15th on the goalscoring charts. He scored in the victories against Changchun Yatai (2-1) and Beijing Guoan (1-0). Chengdu Rongcheng’s leading scorer is Felipe, who has already scored 13 goals, placing him 6th on the goalscoring charts.
The two teams have met 6 times previously, with Chengdu Rongcheng winning 3, drawing 2, and losing 1. The only previous meeting in the Chinese Super League saw Chengdu Rongcheng secure a 3-1 victory in the first leg. Due to Shenzhen Pengcheng (Sichuan Jiuniu) relocating to Shenzhen after gaining promotion to the Chinese Super League, a true Sichuan derby in the Chinese Super League has never happened.
Shenzhen Pengcheng are in good form and are free from relegation pressure, although their home support has been lacking. They will be hoping to give Chengdu Rongcheng a shock. Chengdu Rongcheng, after their unbeaten run was broken by Shanghai Shenhua, have seen an opportunity to challenge for a top-2 finish, and they will be determined to secure a double victory in this match.
