The second of two matches in the Chinese Super League on August 31 sees Group B pacesetter Shanghai SIPG take on Tianjin Teda at the Suzhou City Stadium.

The two teams have undergone completely contrasting fortunes this season. Shanghai SIPG is unbeaten with five wins and two draws while Tianjin Teda is yet to get off the mark.

In fact, Shanghai SIPG remains the only undefeated side in the competition. The 3-0 victory over Chongqing Lifan proved just how lethal its front three can be.

Shanghai is not just beating the opposition, it is dominating the entire game and putting forth all-round performances that are usually associated with champions.

Tianjin Teda heads into this game following a spell of five straight losses. The relegation-threatened side also has the worst defence in the group, having conceded a staggering 17 goals in just seven matches played so far.

The club's record against Shanghai is not likely to lift its spirits either, as Tianjin Teda is winless in its last 15 matches against Shanghai SIPG in all competitions.
