Season ticket holders at Dalian University Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Henan Jianye languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting Shandong Luneng will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
Henan Jianye form and stats
Henan Jianye's results here at Dalian University Stadium in the Super League have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. It's trouble wherever Jianye are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Jianye are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Dalian University Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
No payout for Jianye in their previous match, an away game at Guangzhou Evergrande that ended in defeat 1-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Guangzhou Evergrande (0-2).
The penalty miss from Fernando Karanga in the defeat against Guangzhou Evergrande was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The manager J. Yang will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Shanghai Shenhua in only two days.
Henan Jianye are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. As for conceded goals, Henan Jianye's unpleasant statistic is 15 goals surrendered.
Shandong Luneng form and stats
Shandong Luneng have an excellent away record in the Super League so far with 4-2-0 from 6 games.
It's the second away game in a row for Shandong Luneng, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Shenzhen (placed 5th) in the Super League last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Dalian Professional in the FA Cup.
After this away game Shandong return home for a Super League game against Guangzhou R&F. That game is only two sleeps after this.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Shandong are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Shandong as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
