Dalian Professional are eager to add to their points total at their own stadium in this match hosting Wuhan Yangtze.
- Dalian Professional have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Super League
- Wuhan Yangtze haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Dalian Professional form and stats
4 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Dalian Professional have to build on here at Aswan Stadium in the Super League. When Dalian Professional hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Guangzhou R&F, Hebei CFFC, Guangzhou Evergrande and Dalian Professional), they have won 2 of 3 matches!
No payout for Dalian Professional in their previous match, an away game at Wuhan Three Towns that ended in defeat 0-4. Professional were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. The talented striker Lobi outshone all others in that fixture and received a match rating of 7.04 out of 10. Lobi dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Chengdu Rongcheng.Dalian Professional are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. Dalian Professional have conceded 20 from these games.
Wuhan Yangtze form and stats
There's been little loot from Wuhan Yangtze's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Wuhan Yangtze only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. When Wuhan Yangtze is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 2 of 3 matches. Wuhan Yangtze, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Guangzhou R&F, Hebei CFFC and Guangzhou Evergrande is teams we like to compare Dalian Professional with. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Yangtze who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.
Wuhan Yangtze play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Tianjin Teda (placed 10th). Midfield player Kajević was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.02/10. Kajević hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
A 0-3 loss hosting Hangzhou before that.Observe that 14 of this club's 16 latest league rounds have ended with three or more goals.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Wuhan Yangtze have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Yangtze rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 16 goals from these away matches. When Wuhan Yangtze is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Wuhan Yangtze, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Guangzhou R&F, Hebei CFFC and Guangzhou Evergrande.
