Pay more attention to their own game or adapt for the opposition? Both Henan Jianye and Shenzhen have to try something different than earlier this season. Read more!
- Henan Jianye have the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in Super League
- Shenzhen have the most conceded goals (48) in Super League
These teams have little in common geographically as Shenzhen have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The hosts Henan Jianye saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the FA Cup. That game was an away game at Dalian Yifang, so at least Jianye are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

The Henan Jianye coach Diaz and his players return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Dalian Yifang in the FA Cup.
Before that, Henan Jianye drew at home versus Nantong Zhiyun.Not much happening? Looking at this club's last 18 league matches, 14 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

Shenzhen form and stats

Shenzhen are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at Tianjin Teda (placed 5th). It looked so good for Shenzhen vs Tianjin Teda, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-1 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw.

Midfield player Zhang was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.33/10. Zhang served one assist and hit three key passes.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Shanghai SIPG.Goal alert! This club have played 9 consecutive league games all with three or more than three goals (over 2.5 goals).
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Shenzhen as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league.
