The league table in League One tells a story about these teams so far, with Meizhou Hakka leading Jiangxi Liansheng by 11 points. Match preview to follow:
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 Meizhou and Jiangxi Liansheng.
Meizhou Hakka form and stats
Meizhou Hakka, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) in League One, have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the League One. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Two draws in a row at home now for Meizhou.
A good away victory last time out for Meizhou, who won 1-0 against Guizhou Zhicheng (placed 4th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Shenyang Urban that finished 2-2.
Meizhou are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Hangzhou awaits in three days.
Meizhou are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. From these home matches, Meizhou have conceded only 2 goals.
Jiangxi Liansheng form and stats
Things could have gone better for Jiangxi Liansheng in their League One away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. Recent form does not give Liansheng much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Meizhou Hakka will be a tough nut to crack.
The attacking players of Liansheng have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 209 minutes.
Jiangxi Liansheng failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Hangzhou (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-2. A 0-1 loss hosting Shaanxi Chang'an before that.
After this away game Liansheng return home for a League One game against Shenyang Urban. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Liansheng when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Liansheng's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
