Tianjin TEDA are set to play Shenzhen at the Jinzhou Stadium on Friday in their next Chinese Super League fixture.
Tianjin TEDA come into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw against Wuhan Zall at the Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre two weeks ago. A drab encounter saw Wuhan Zall take only one shot on target, while Tianjin TEDA did not manage a single shot on goal.
Shenzhen, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to a ten-man Jiangsu Suning side two weeks ago at the Dalian Sports Centre Stadium. A penalty in the first half from Brazilian midfielder Alex Teixeira secured the win for Jiangsu Suning, who had defender Yang Boyu sent off in the second half.
