Hebei CFFC form and stats
The Super League season is young and Hebei CFFC have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Hebei CFFC are looking to quickly end their 338 minutes long goal drought in the Super League.
Home advantage was not enough for Hebei in their previous game, as they lost their Super League-match, hosting Shenzhen, 0-1.

Bao (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.41. Bao saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with eight saves.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Guangzhou Evergrande.Hebei are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. For Hebei, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
