Chengdu Rongcheng form and stats

The visitors are W2-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Chengdu Rongcheng are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Chengdu Rongcheng play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Hebei CFFC (placed 17th). Silva came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Hebei CFFC last time out, making the manager Seo feel like a tactical genius. Midfielder Rômulo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.6. Rômulo hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 47 successful passes (of 56 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Meizhou Hakka.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Rongcheng as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
