Nanjing City form and stats
5-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Nanjing City so far this season.
Nanjing City's last game was hosting Xinjiang Tianshan (placed 17th) and winning 2-1. At last, a league victory after three games without. Some amazing scenes last match, when Bouli scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time.
Ahead of that match, Nanjing City lost 2-3 at home to Zibo Sunday.Both teams on the scoresheet! That has been the case in 5 league games in a row for this team. Will it happen again?
There will be little rest for Nanjing after this match as they are travelling to Nantong Zhiyun for a League One game in only four days.
The Nanjing City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Shaanxi Chang'an form and stats
Shaanxi Chang'an's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Shaanxi Chang'an collect 29 points from their 12 away matches in the League One. 9 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). It could be a hat trick of victories away for Shaanxi Chang'an, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Two away games in a row for Chang'an, whose manager Wang could celebrate last time after the win against Zibo Sunday.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Shenyang Urban with the score of 2-1.It's not easy to score on Shaanxi Chang'an as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Nanjing zero wins, zero draws and Shaanxi Chang'an two victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
