In total; 17 league fixtures have been played and Changchun Yatai are 3 points ahead of Shenzhen. Who will win?
- Shenzhen have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Changchun Yatai form and stats
All-inclusive Super League results at home this season for Changchun Yatai are 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Changchun's last game was hosting Wuhan Yangtze (placed 14th) and winning 2-0. Midfield player Erik got a match rating of 8.61 in that game, the max score being 10. Erik scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 45 successful passes (of 50 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Wuhan Three Towns (1-2).Take note: 9 of the latest 12 league matches from this club have had at least one goal from each side.
Changchun Yatai are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games.
Shenzhen form and stats
Shenzhen have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Super League, after 3-1-6 (10 played).
Home advantage was not enough for Shenzhen in their previous game as they lost hosting Shandong Luneng, 0-4. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Shandong Luneng was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Shenzhen goalkeeper Dong was happy for a fine day at work versus Shandong Luneng, but even with achieving seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Wuhan Yangtze with the score of 3-0.Take note that 10 of this team's 13 latest league games have ended with three or more goals.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Shenzhen manager Lee as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Guangzhou R&F.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Shenzhen have scored 13 goals in 10 league games away. The Shenzhen manager Lee has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
