Comparative Team Statistics: Svay Rieng vs Shanghai Shenhua

Early days in the group

The AFC Cup group table shows just one match played by each side so far. Shenhua sit second with three points after a 2-1 win, while Svay Rieng are down in fourth having lost 0-2 in their opener.

That's a small sample from a group table, not a full season's evidence, so it shouldn't be read as a fixed hierarchy just yet.

What might shape this one

Svay Rieng have home advantage, but their opening group defeat shows even at home they can be got at defensively. Shenhua arrive with a group win behind them and the sort of results elsewhere that occasionally produce big scorelines, both for and against them.

Given how open both teams have looked in recent matches, goals from either side wouldn't be a surprise, though nothing here points strongly to a one-sided outcome.
