The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Henan Jianye are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 11th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Guangzhou R&F when visiting Henan Jianye as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.
Henan Jianye form and stats
8 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Henan Jianye have to build on here at Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium in the Super League. After failing to beat Wuhan Zall here at Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium, Henan Jianye has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
Henan Jianye's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Guangzhou R&F (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Shenzhen that finished 3-3.
A decent goal production from Henan Jianye in their home games so far, with 22 goals from 14 league matches. On the other hand, Henan Jianye have conceded 18 goals.
Guangzhou R&F form and stats
There's been little loot from Guangzhou R&F's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 14 away games in the Super League. Guangzhou R&F, who have the most conceded goals (71) in Super League, only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Guangzhou R&F as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Guangzhou R&F are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Two away games in a row for Guangzhou R&F, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Henan Jianye in the Super League. A loss against Beijing Guoan was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The travelling fans enjoy Guangzhou R&F's attacking play in away games, having scored 22 goals in 14 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Guangzhou R&F's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 39 goals in 14 travels.
