Jiangsu Suning are set to play Guangzhou R&F at the Dalian Pro Soccer Academy Base on Sunday in their next Chinese Super League (CSL) fixture.
Jiangsu Suning come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Dalian Pro on Tuesday. Former West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon scored for Dalian Pro, with Brazil international Miranda scoring the equaliser for Jiangsu Suning.
Meanwhile, Guangzhou R&F beat Henan Jianye 3-1 on Tuesday at the Jinzhou Stadium. A brace from Dia Saba and a Ye Chugui goal secured the win for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side. An Henrique Dourado penalty proved to be scant consolation for Henan Jianye.
