Liaoning Tieren welcome Zhejiang Professional at Tiexi New District Sports Center, Shenyang on Saturday, Oct 24 at 9:30 AM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Liaoning Tieren come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Zhejiang Professional travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Liaoning Tieren face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Zhejiang Professional have won 3 of 4 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Liaoning Tieren won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Liaoning Tieren a slight edge, but Zhejiang Professional are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
