Hangzhou form and stats
It’s been three wins in a row for Hangzhou here at Huitang Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
No payout for Hangzhou in their previous match, an away game at Beijing BG that ended in defeat 0-1.
Before that, Hangzhou had a home game versus Xinjiang Tianshan which ended with a victory 4-1.Nantong Zhiyun form and stats
Impressive finishing from Yang Mingyang, Mychell Chagas, Fei Yu and Huang Cong secured the home win 4-3 against Heilongjiang Lava Spring in their previous game. What a finish in the last match, as Nantong came back from being down 1-3 and secured a very satisfying victory through Huang Cong's goal in the 87th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Heilongjiang Lava Spring was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Chengdu Qianbao wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Head 2 Head
Last two meetings between the teams: Hangzhou won zero, Nantong Zhiyun won one and one draw. one game with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
