- Hangzhou is in the best form (4-2-0) in Super League
- Dalian Pro have the fewest scored goals in the second half (9) in Super League
These teams have little in common geographically as Dalian Pro have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a AFC Champions League game only four days back. This match was also played here at Xuzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Dalian Pro have had more rest.

Dalian Pro form and stats
Dalian Pro have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Super League, after 0-3-8 (11 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
Dalian's previous game was their home loss versus Henan Songshan Longmen (0-3). Dalian Pro did not look prepared in the first half against Henan Songshan Longmen and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one. It is worrying for Dalian that their goalie Wu pulled off eight saves in the Henan Songshan Longmen match, but still couldn't prevent a defeat.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Shenzhen.Betting related statistic: Both sides have scored goal(s) in 8 of this club's last 10 league matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Dalian Pro are hosting Tianjin Teda in the FA Cup only four days away.
