Only a few games have been played in the League One so far, with Nantong Zhiyun placed 16th and Xinjiang Tianshan sitting in the 15th position.
Nantong Zhiyun and Xinjiang Tianshan should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Nantong Zhiyun form and stats
Nantong Zhiyun have collected 0 points from their home games so far after 0-0-1. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Nantong Zhiyun with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Shaanxi Chang'an game, 160 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Nantong Zhiyun, their manager Wei Xin and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.In their previous game, the manager Wei Xin led his Nantong Zhiyun to a defeat in the League One match away at Changchun Yatai. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here . Preceding that match was the home game against Liaoning Kaixin that was lost 1-2.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nantong Zhiyun at home. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Xinjiang Tianshan form and stats
The season is young and Xinjiang Tianshan have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Qingdao Hainiu in their previous outing. The League One match ended in a draw 0-0. A 0-4 defeat away at Meizhou Hakka before that.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Xinjiang Tianshan's away games this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. The Xinjiang Tianshan manager Fernando has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
