Match preview: 36 points separate the contenders until now, Meizhou Hakka on top. Will Jiangxi Liansheng shorten the gap?
- Jiangxi Liansheng have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in League One
- Meizhou Hakka have the most scored goals in the first half (27) in League One
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Liansheng and Meizhou Hakka.
Jiangxi Liansheng form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Jiangxi Liansheng have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Liansheng who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Chengdu Qianbao, 114 days ago.
Stress levels are on the rise for Liansheng's attacking players as they have now played 209 minutes without scoring in a league game. Eder was their last goal scorer.
Jiangxi Liansheng lost their last game at Hangzhou (placed 4th) after a 0-2 scoreline.
Before that game, the home loss against Suzhou Dongwu with the scoreline 0-1.The lack of attacking qualities in Liansheng means that they have only scored 2 goals in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Liansheng have allowed the opposition to score 13 goals here at Hengli Soccer Town #9 Soccerpitch.
Meizhou Hakka form and stats
The visitors are W4-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the League One. The fact that Meizhou Hakka have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
The supporters enjoyed Meizhou Hakka's previous game versus Shenyang Urban (placed 13th), a League One 2-0 win played at home.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Nanjing City with the score of 2-1.Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 14 goals in 5 league games away this season. As opposed to that, Meizhou have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Jiangxi Liansheng wins - draws - Meizhou Hakka wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.Top Goalscorers
