The season is still fairly new and the League One table has to be read with caution. So far Zhenjiang Huasa find themselves in 1st position and Sichuan are placed 5th.
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 Xinjiang Tianshan, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.
Zhenjiang Huasa form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Zhenjiang Huasa's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 4 points.
A nice win for Zhenjiang last time playing, versus Xinjiang Tianshan. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Wu Yufan, Zhang Tianhan and Ruan Yang scoring for the victors. Before that match, a win away at Changchun Yatai.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Zhenjiang as they are travelling to their away game against Nantong Zhiyun in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

Sichuan form and stats

Sichuan failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Changchun Yatai (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-3. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Nantong Zhiyun that ended 1-1.
A quick return to home after this game, as Sichuan are hosting Heilongjiang Lava Spring in the League One only three days away.
It's early days yet, but Sichuan has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
