Get set for Sichuan - Shenyang Urban! Even with their varied results, this game could be immense!
- Sichuan have the fewest matches over the total-line (6) in League One
It's no vacation for neither Sichuan nor Shenyang Urban as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sichuan form and stats
5-4-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Sichuan so far this season.
A good away victory last time out for Sichuan, who won 2-1 against Beijing BG (placed 15th).
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Suzhou Dongwu.There will be little rest for Sichuan after this match as they are travelling to Nantong Zhiyun for a League One game in only three days.
Sichuan has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Sichuan have conceded only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Shenyang Urban form and stats
There's been little loot from Shenyang Urban's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 10 away games in the League One. Shenyang Urban only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. With the Shenyang losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
The attacking players of Shenyang have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 281 minutes.
Shenyang failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Nantong Zhiyun (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-3. Shenyang lost heavily in their last match (against Nantong Zhiyun as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
A 0-2 loss hosting Beijing BG before that.After this away game Shenyang return home for a League One game against Shaanxi Chang'an. That game is only three sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Shenyang Urban's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Shenyang's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
