- BIT have the fewest scored goals (6) in League One
- Zibo Sunday have yet to win a game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
BIT form and stats
BIT's struggle is real here at Dalian University Stadium with only 2 points collected from 6 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-4. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.
BIT haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 196 minutes ago. Mengyuan scored that one.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Shanghai Jiading last time out and are looking for a victory here.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Suzhou Dongwu (0-1).The manager Yu will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Heilongjiang Lava Spring in only four days.
BIT have scored 2 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. BIT are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 6 played).
Zibo Sunday form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zibo Sunday so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Sunday has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The followers enjoyed Zibo Sunday's previous match versus Shanghai Jiading (placed 16th), a 2-0 win played at home. Zibo Sunday made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Miao receiving a red card in the 35th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Zibo Sunday won the match 2-0!
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Qingdao Jonoon wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.After this away game Sunday return home for a League One game against Qingdao Jonoon. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Zibo Sunday as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. The Zibo Sunday manager Huang has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
