Jiangxi Liansheng form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the FA Cup for Jiangxi Liansheng, as the manager de Lima led his troops to eliminate Xinjiang Tianshan, and reach the 2nd Round. Liansheng was eliminated in the 3rd preliminary round last season in the FA Cup.

Jiangxi Liansheng have collected 18 points from their League One home games so far after 5-3-7.

The Jiangxi Liansheng club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at Dalian University Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Beijing BG.

Previous to that game, a League One home match hosting Zibo Sunday in a game that was won 2-1.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Shanghai Shenhua to win. Let's see if Jiangxi Liansheng are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 15 games found revealing 1 Liansheng win, 2 draws and 12 defeats.

Jiangxi Liansheng are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Jiangxi Liansheng defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Shanghai Shenhua form and stats

Shanghai's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the semi-finals against Shanghai SIPG.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Super League travels is 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Shanghai Shenhua, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Chengdu Rongcheng. Shanghai Shenhua goalkeeper Ma could enjoy a brilliant shift versus Chengdu Rongcheng, but in spite of managing six saves the defeat could not be evaded. Yang, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.33. Yang scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

It was a Super League defeat before that one as the away game against Shandong Luneng wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Shanghai Shenhua find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Shanghai have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
