Season ticket holders at Dalian Sports Center haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Henan Jianye languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting Shenzhen will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Shenzhen have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Henan Jianye form and stats
Henan Jianye, who have the most conceded goals (24) in Super League, have collected 2 points from their Super League home games so far after 0-2-3. Henan Jianye has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Yang and the players.
Jianye faced defeat in their previous match, away at Guangzhou R&F (1-3). Ahead of that match, Jianye lost 0-4 at home to Dalian Professional.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Jianye as they are travelling to their away game against Guangzhou Evergrande in the FA Cup. That match is four days after this one.
Jianye has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Jianye are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 5 played).
Shenzhen form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Shenzhen playing as the away team in the Super League this season.
Xu Yang was the last player to score for the away team. Shenzhen haven't scored a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Shenzhen are travelling again after losing away to Guangzhou Evergrande in their previous match (0-2). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Shanghai Shenhua.
The schedule is very tough for Shenzhen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A FA Cup game at Jiangsu Suning is waiting in only four days.
The visiting Shenzhen have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 5 goals from 5 games. As for defending, Shenzhen rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 8 goals from these away matches.
