An important duel in the bottom section of the League One, with both Guizhou Zhicheng and Jiangxi Liansheng experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 5th and the visitors in 6th place.
It's no vacation for neither Zhicheng nor Jiangxi Liansheng as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Guizhou Zhicheng form and stats
Guizhou Zhicheng have played 4 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Guizhou Zhicheng are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Shaanxi Chang'an. 1-1 away at Shenyang Urban before that.
The lack of attacking qualities in Guizhou Zhicheng means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Zhicheng have conceded 4 goals.
Jiangxi Liansheng form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in League One, are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League One. With the Liansheng losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Home advantage was not enough for Jiangxi Liansheng in their previous game, as they lost their League One-match, hosting Shenyang Urban, 0-2. Prior to that match, the Liansheng manager Y. Huang faced defeat when travelling to Meizhou Hakka and losing 2-3.
The visiting Liansheng have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 4 games. For Liansheng, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
