Season ticket holders at Wuhua People's Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Shenyang Urban languishing in the 5th position so far. The guesting Guizhou Zhicheng will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
The hosts Shenyang saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the League One. That game was an away game at Shaanxi Chang'an, so at least Shenyang are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's quite the trip for Guizhou Zhicheng when visiting Shenyang as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
Shenyang Urban form and stats
Three League One home games done for Shenyang Urban, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
Shenyang lost their last game at Shaanxi Chang'an (placed 3rd) after a 0-1 scoreline. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Meizhou Hakka.
Shenyang are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Jiangxi Liansheng awaits in three days.
Shenyang Urban are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Shenyang Urban have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Guizhou Zhicheng form and stats
Things could have gone better for Guizhou Zhicheng in their League One away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Guizhou Zhicheng failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Meizhou Hakka (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-1. Prior to that match, the Guizhou Zhicheng manager X. Wang faced defeat when travelling to Hangzhou and losing 1-2.
Zhicheng has another fixture away, a League One game, against Shaanxi Chang'an in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Zhicheng are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Guizhou Zhicheng have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
