Tianjin Jinmen Tiger

LLWLWW

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 Chinese FA Cup triumph vs Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Tianjin Jinmen Tiger have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Tianjin Jinmen Tiger have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals during that time. Even so, we must now wait to see whether the trend might be sustained in this game.
