Season ticket holders at Wuhua People's Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Xinjiang Tianshan languishing in the 6th position so far. The guesting Guizhou Zhicheng will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One. Thankfully the previous game, versus Beijing Renhe, was also a home game here at Wuhua People's Stadium. The away team is better rested.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Guizhou Zhicheng, who are travelling more than 1700 kilometers to play this game.
Xinjiang Tianshan form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Xinjiang Tianshan, who have the most conceded goals (16) in League One, have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Xinjiang who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Nantong Zhiyun, 53 days ago. Xinjiang are slowly digging their own grave here at Wuhua People's Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Changchun Yatai match.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Beijing Renhe in the League One last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the away draw at Beijing BG that finished 1-1.
There will be little rest for Xinjiang after this match as they are travelling to Shenyang Urban for a League One game in only one day.
Xinjiang have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. 7 goals have been conceded.
Guizhou Zhicheng form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League One.
Zhicheng are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the League One against Beijing BG. Prior to that match, the Guizhou Zhicheng manager X. Wang faced defeat when travelling to Sichuan and losing 1-2.
A quick return to home after this game, as Zhicheng are hosting Beijing Renhe in the League One only one days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Zhicheng have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. 7 goals have been conceded by Zhicheng in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Xinjiang, one draw and three wins for Guizhou Zhicheng. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
