An important duel in the bottom section of the League One, with both Jiangxi Liansheng and Shenyang Urban experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 6th and the visitors in 5th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Jiangxi Liansheng form and stats
There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Jiangxi Liansheng yet to win or draw a League One game here. The sad story at Huitang Stadium is: Jiangxi Liansheng played 4 games, lost 4 games. With nine home League One games in a row without a win, the Liansheng fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Shanghai Sunfun game long ago, can be stopped today. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Jiangxi Liansheng with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Shenyang Urban game, 18 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Ahead of that match, Liansheng lost 0-2 at home to Hangzhou.
The manager Y. Huang will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Guizhou Zhicheng in only three days.
Jiangxi Liansheng has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 4 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Liansheng having conceded 10 goals here at Huitang Stadium so far.
Shenyang Urban form and stats
Playing away, Shenyang Urban, who have the fewest points (3) away in League One, have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the League One this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Shenyang have lost on their last two travels.
A 0-1 defeat away at Shaanxi Chang'an before that.
After this away game Shenyang Urban return home for a League One game against Hangzhou. That game is only three sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Shenyang's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Shenyang Urban in these games.
