A key match in League One as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Meizhou Hakka in 1st position and Taizhou Yuanda placed 2nd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
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.
Meizhou Hakka form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Meizhou Hakka, who have the most scored goals (20) in League One, at their home stadium (Dujiangyan Sports Center Stadium) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. There’s a good atmosphere here at Dujiangyan Sports Center Stadium after three straight home wins.
Ahead of that match, Meizhou won a home game hosting Hangzhou (4-2).
There will be little rest for Meizhou after this match as they are travelling to Zhenjiang Huasa for a League One game in only three days.
Meizhou Hakka can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 10 times. Meizhou have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Taizhou Yuanda form and stats
2-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Taizhou Yuanda, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) in League One, in their League One matches away. Recent form does not give Taizhou much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Meizhou Hakka will be a tough nut to crack.
Zhang Xinlin was the last player to score for the away team. Taizhou haven't scored a league goal in the last 221 minutes.
Taizhou Yuanda might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zhenjiang Huasa proved too strong as Taizhou slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans. A 0-2 loss hosting Changchun Yatai before that.
A new game in only three days for Taizhou Yuanda, the League One home match versus Hangzhou. Busy days.
Taizhou have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 6 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Taizhou as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
