The Chinese Super League returns with another Group A fixture on Wednesday as Guangzhou Evergrande take on Shenzhen FC at the Tianhe Stadium. Both sides have put in good performances this season and will try to come away from this fixture with three points.
Shenzhen FC have not been particularly consistent this season, however, and have won two of their last five games in the Chinese Super League. The away team could only manage a 0-0 stalemate against Shanghai Shenhua last week and will need to be at their best against the home side.
Guangzhou Evergrande, on the other hand, have been the best team in the Chinese Super League so far and are at the top of the table for good reason. Guangzhou Evergrande defeated their local rivals Guangzhou R&F 2-1 last week and will try to improve their winning streak in this encounter.
Guangzhou Evergrande vs Shenzhen FC Head-to-Head
Guangzhou Evergrande have a flawless record against Shenzhen FC and have won all seven games that have been played between the two sides. Shenzhen FC have failed to take a single point away from this fixture and will hope to improve their dismal record on Wednesday.
The two sides locked horns in the reverse fixture earlier this year and Guangzhou Evergrande predictably emerged with an easy 3-1 victory. Wei Shihao and Paulinho were on target for Guangzhou on the day and will be their side's chief goalscoring threats going into this fixture.

Shenzhen FC have played well over the past few weeks but have a massive mountain to climb against Guangzhou Evergrande. The absence of Cameroonian striker John Mary means that Guangzhou Evergrande have very little to worry about in this game.
