It's still early in the League One season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Shenyang Urban - Meizhou Hakka preview!
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 Shenyang and Meizhou Hakka.
Shenyang Urban form and stats
Shenyang Urban are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two League One games here.
Stress levels are on the rise for Shenyang's attacking players as they have now played 197 minutes without scoring in a league game. Wang Jingbin was their last goal scorer.
Shenyang Urban lost their last game at Hangzhou (placed 2nd) after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Jiangxi Liansheng (0-1).
The manager M. Yu will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Shaanxi Chang'an in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Shenyang Urban's 2 home games: 1 goal, 2 conceded.
Meizhou Hakka form and stats
Meizhou Hakka, who have the most scored goals (10) in League One, are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the League One.
Two travels in a row for Meizhou, whose manager M. Rospide could celebrate last time after the League One win against Shaanxi Chang'an. A draw for Meizhou before that, at their own venue hosting Hangzhou (2-2).
The schedule is very tough for Meizhou now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Guizhou Zhicheng is waiting in only three days.
It's early days yet, but Meizhou Hakka has scored 6 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Meizhou Hakka - Shenyang 2-0 played earlier this season.Top Goalscorers
