A key match in League One as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Taizhou Yuanda in 2nd position and Hangzhou placed 2nd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It's no vacation for neither Taizhou nor Hangzhou 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.
Taizhou Yuanda form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Taizhou Yuanda have to build on here in the League One. It's trouble wherever Taizhou are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Taizhou Yuanda, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Taizhou faced defeat in their previous match, away at Meizhou Hakka (1-2). Preceding that match was the home game against Zhenjiang Huasa that was lost 0-2.
The Taizhou fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Taizhou are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
Hangzhou form and stats
As the visiting team in League One matches, Hangzhou have produced an overall stat of 2-3-0 so far.
The Hangzhou goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Hangzhou are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the League One against Chengdu Qianbao. Before that, Hangzhou travelled to Changchun Yatai and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Hangzhou are regular goalscorers on their travels. Hangzhou have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
