Beijing Guoan take on Tianjin JMT at the Wuhua Hengpi Football Town Stadium in the Chinese Super League on Monday, with both sides having had similar starts to their seasons.
Beijing are currently 10th in the league, two points ahead of their opponents. Feng Xie's side have been in decent form recently, having lost only one of their last five games across all competitions. They will look to take that momentum into the game against Tianjin this week.
Tianjin are 13th in the league and are winless in their opening two league games of the season. Genwei Yu's side have also been in decent form of late, having lost only one of their last six games across all competitions. They will hope to pick up their first league win of the season against Beijing on Monday.
Both sides will want to kickstart their league campaigns with a win and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
