It's still early in the League One season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Meizhou Hakka - Hangzhou preview!

Meizhou Hakka have less rest than Hangzhou in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League One game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Jiangxi Liansheng.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Meizhou Hakka form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Meizhou Hakka's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Huitang Stadium.

Meizhou Hakka are confident in defense, having played 390 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for Meizhou, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Jiangxi Liansheng away with the result 4-0. C. Egbuchunam, Liang Xueming, L. Doumbouya and Chen Guokang found the net in that victory. Before that, Meizhou drew at home versus Guizhou Zhicheng.

As mentioned above, Meizhou "killed" Jiangxi Liansheng in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

This is expected to be a close game, with Meizhou Hakka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Meizhou as a small favourite), we find two games. Meizhou Hakka has won zero of these, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Meizhou as they are travelling to their away game against Shaanxi Chang'an in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

At Huitang Stadium, Meizhou Hakka has the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Hangzhou form and stats

Things could have gone better for Hangzhou in their League One away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Hangzhou has drawn their two previous away games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Shaanxi Chang'an (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The League One match ended in a draw 1-1. Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Jiangxi Liansheng.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hangzhou playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Hangzhou win, two draws and two defeats.

A new game in only three days for Hangzhou, the League One home match versus Shenyang Urban. Busy days.

Hangzhou have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Meizhou won two games, one match ended with a draw and Hangzhou has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / three
