On August 22nd at 7:35 PM, Shanghai SIPG will host Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in the 2024 FA Cup quarter-finals. Last season, Shanghai SIPG were eliminated from the FA Cup by Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. With this backdrop, the rematch between the two teams is a key battle: Will SIPG successfully avenge their defeat and advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, or will Jinmen Tiger eliminate them for the second year in a row? It’s something to keep an eye on.
SIPG and Jinmen Tiger are very familiar with each other, having clashed numerous times. In their last 23 league matches, SIPG has a commanding advantage, winning 16, drawing 6, and losing only 1. SIPG have won all five of their recent home matches against Jinmen Tiger. In the 15th round of the Chinese Super League this season, SIPG defeated Jinmen Tiger 3-0 away. However, in the 2023 FA Cup, Jinmen Tiger eliminated SIPG in the round of 16 after a penalty shootout.
Last weekend, SIPG suffered a 1-3 loss to Shanghai Shenhua in the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League, ending their 18-game winning streak across both competitions. Previously, SIPG had eliminated Guangxi Hengchen and Zhejiang in the FA Cup, advancing to the quarter-finals. In those two matches, SIPG rotated their squad and didn’t field their strongest lineup. Now, in the quarter-final clash, SIPG is likely to deploy more of their key players in the starting lineup, aiming for a victory.
Jinmen Tiger reached the FA Cup quarter-finals after eliminating Yunnan Yukun and Changchun Yatai. Meanwhile, Jinmen Tiger are in excellent form, having recently beaten Zhejiang and Wuhan Three Towns to secure two consecutive wins. Italian striker Kompany is on fire, scoring in four consecutive matches, netting a total of five goals in that period. In the FA Cup round of 16, Kompany came off the bench and scored twice to help Jinmen Tiger eliminate Yatai 4-3 after extra time.
Jinmen Tiger didn’t use many of their key players in the previous FA Cup matches. However, ahead of this clash, Yu Genwei stated: “The team is in great shape, and we will deploy the players in the best condition for tomorrow’s match against SIPG.” While Jinmen Tiger has a poor record against SIPG in history, it’s worth noting that their sole win against SIPG occurred in the 2022 Chinese Super League. Moreover, last year, Jinmen Tiger eliminated SIPG in the FA Cup. This past experience will undoubtedly motivate Jinmen Tiger’s desire to win.
