The visiting Zhenjiang Huasa side should be favourites in this visit to Xinjiang Tianshan, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their nine league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Xinjiang nor Zhenjiang Huasa 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.
Xinjiang Tianshan form and stats
Xinjiang Tianshan, who have the most conceded goals (15) in League One, have collected 1 point from their League One home games so far after 0-1-3. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Xinjiang, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Xinjiang shared the glory with Heilongjiang Lava Spring in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Ahead of that match, Xinjiang lost 1-2 at home to Sichuan.
Xinjiang has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Xinjiang defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Zhenjiang Huasa form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Zhenjiang Huasa, who have the fewest conceded goals (0) away in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Zhenjiang, as they have won on their previous two travels.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Changchun Yatai with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 loss hosting Heilongjiang Lava Spring before that.
Zhenjiang have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. Zhenjiang Huasa's manager X. Li has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 0 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
