The Chinese Super League returns with another two-legged knock-out tie this week as Chongqing Lifan face off against a strong Jiangsu Suning outfit at the Suzhou City Stadium. Both teams have enjoyed excellent campaigns this season and will want to seize the initiative in this fixture.

Chongqing Lifan finished in second place in Group B in the Chinese Super League table and have been excellent over the past few weeks. The team has been unbeaten in the league since the start of September and will want to prove a point in this game.

Jiangsu Suning have also had an impressive season and finished only behind reigning champions Guangzhou Evergrande in Group A of the Chinese Super League table. Cosmin Olaroiu's side has exceeded expectations in the league and will want to progress to the next stage of the competition.


Chongqing Lifan vs Jiangsu Suning Head-to-Head

Jiangsu Suning have an excellent record in this fixture and have won eight games out of a total of 14 matches against Chongqing Lifan. Chongqing Lifan have managed only four victories and will need to improve their record in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two sides resulted in a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Jiangsu Suning. A knock-out fixture is a different prospect, however, and both teams will have to be at their best on the day.
