With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Heilongjiang Lava Spring fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Suzhou Dongwu.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One. Thankfully the previous game, versus Shaanxi Chang'an, was also a home game here at Jiangyin Sports Park Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Heilongjiang Lava Spring form and stats
0-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Heilongjiang Lava Spring, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in League One, so far this season. With seven home League One games in a row without a win, the Heilongjiang fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sichuan game long ago, can be stopped today. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Heilongjiang Lava Spring has five draws from their last five matches.
The spoils were shared in Heilongjiang's previous game, also at home. Visiting Shaanxi Chang'an travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Jiangxi Liansheng that finished 1-1.
There will be little rest for Heilongjiang after this match as they are travelling to Nei Mongol Zhongyou for a League One game in only two days.
Heilongjiang Lava Spring have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. Heilongjiang Lava Spring have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

A quick return to home after this game, as Suzhou are hosting Shaanxi Chang'an in the League One only two days away.
