Henan Songshan Longmen have finished evaluating following their 1-0-fixture vs Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and are looking forward to go again when travelling to Dalian Pro. Get all the details!

Insights:
  • Henan Songshan Longmen have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Henan Songshan Longmen have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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.

Dalian Pro form and stats

Dalian Pro have played 11 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-6-2 (wins-draws-losses). When Dalian Pro hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Nantong Zhiyun, Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen, Qingdao Hainiu and Dalian Pro), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two home wins in a row for Dalian bring valid hopes of a third.

Dalian Pro's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Shenzhen (placed 16th). The home side are looking to build on that result. The host team have an in-form goalscorer in Lin, having found the net in three games in a row. Tsonev, an attacker, was the declared top performer for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 8.81 (out of 10). Tsonev scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Shijiazhuang Ever Bright.

Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 11 most recent league matches highlights that 9 of them had goals from both sides.

The Dalian Pro fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches.
