Hangzhou form and stats

Hangzhou have played 5 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-0-0 (wins-draws-losses). Hangzhou haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Beijing BG, 67 days ago.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Hangzhou, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 208 minutes in the League One.

A strong away win for Hangzhou against Suzhou Dongwu the last match, as Yao Junsheng were on target.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Jiangxi Liansheng.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Shenyang Urban are coming to town in three days.

The Hangzhou manager J. Vinyals Martori has got the team scoring with 12 from 5 home games in the league. Defensively Hangzhou have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nanjing City form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Nanjing City have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far.

Nanjing had fun at their own home (Huitang Stadium) last time out, beating Shenyang Urban 2-1. Zhang Xinlin and Li Rui scored. Li Rui came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Shenyang Urban last time out, making the manager F. Pea feel like a tactical genius.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Suzhou Dongwu.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nanjing manager F. Pea as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Meizhou Hakka.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nanjing as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Nanjing have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
