Hangzhou form and stats

2-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Hangzhou so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Hangzhou after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Hangzhou are returning here after guesting Sichuan in a FA Cup fixture and winning with a 4-1 scoreline.

A 2-2 draw away in the Super League before that, with Henan Jianye the opponent.

Goals, goals, goals? We don't know the future, but we do know that 9 of the 11 latest league games with this club has had three or more goals.

Hangzhou are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Shijiazhuang Ever Bright awaits in four days.

The Hangzhou fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Hangzhou defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
