Xinjiang Tianshan hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 3 points and a 6th position in the League One table. Visiting Heilongjiang Lava Spring holds 4th place with 10 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Xinjiang Tianshan form and stats
Xinjiang Tianshan, who have the most conceded goals (16) in League One, have played 5 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). All in all it has been a very rough period for Xinjiang Tianshan who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 15 attempts. Their previous win was against Nantong Zhiyun, 65 days ago. With eight home League One games in a row without a win, the Xinjiang fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Changchun Yatai game long ago, can be stopped today.
Xinjiang travelled for their previous game, a trip to Shenyang Urban that ended 2-2. Preceding that match was a defeat to Guizhou Zhicheng (1-2).
A disappointing finish for Xinjiang in their match versus Shenyang Urban as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
There will be little rest for Xinjiang after this match as they are travelling to Heilongjiang Lava Spring for a League One game in only three days.
Xinjiang has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 5 games. Xinjiang Tianshan have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Heilongjiang Lava Spring form and stats
1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Heilongjiang Lava Spring, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season.

Heilongjiang has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Nei Mongol Zhongyou for a League One game that ended a draw (1-1). A draw for Heilongjiang Lava Spring before that, at their own venue hosting Suzhou Dongwu (0-0).
A new game in only three days for Heilongjiang Lava Spring, the League One home match versus Xinjiang Tianshan. Busy days.
The attacking power of Heilongjiang when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Heilongjiang are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
