Hebei CFFC have some work to do from their 8th position, and they have a chance against Shenzhen. Read more!
- Hebei CFFC have the fewest scored goals (2) in Super League
- Shenzhen have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Super League
It's quite the trip for Shenzhen when visiting Hebei as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hebei and Shenzhen.
Hebei CFFC form and stats
Hebei CFFC have played three Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Qiuming was the last player to score a league goal for Hebei CFFC and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Hebei CFFC haven't scored in 248 minutes.
Hebei's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Guangzhou Evergrande (placed 3rd). Ding, defender, was given a rating of 7.32/10 in that game, top of the team. Ding hit two key passes and won 4 of 5 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Shandong Luneng (0-2).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hebei CFFC as they are travelling to their away game against Guangzhou R&F in the Super League. That match is two days after this one.
The lack of attacking qualities in Hebei means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. As for conceded goals, Hebei's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.
Shenzhen form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Super League for Shenzhen with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
Shenzhen might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Changchun Yatai proved too strong as Shenzhen slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre. Attacker Kardec got a player rating of 7.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Kardec hit one key pass.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Shanghai SIPG wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.A new game in only two days for Shenzhen, the Super League home match versus Beijing Guoan. Busy days.
Shenzhen find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Shenzhen have conceded 6 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The contenders have faced each other previously this season, with the result Shenzhen - Hebei 3-0 entered in the official records. Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: three - two - three (Hebei CFFC wins - draws - Shenzhen wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
