Game week two of the Super League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Jiangsu Suning - Shandong Luneng preview:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Jiangsu Suning form and stats
Jiangsu enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Henan Jianye's place. The match ended 4-3. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Shanghai Shenhua.
An impressive turnaround for Jiangsu in the match against Henan Jianye as a 0-2 deficit was completely turned around to a 4-3 win. Wu Xi scored the final goal. A goal frenzy last time out for Jiangsu, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Henan Jianye. Fun stuff to watch!
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Jiangsu, as the Super League home game vs Dalian Professional is only four days away.
Last season, Jiangsu Suning's league statistics were 15 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Super League. Over these 30 matches they scored 60 goals and conceded 41. Playing at home last season Jiangsu Suning managed 11-2-2 (win-draw-lost) with 34 goals and 14 conceded.
Shandong Luneng form and stats
Only one away game in the Super League so far for Shandong Luneng and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 3 draws and 7 losses from 15 travels.
Two travels in a row for Shandong, whose manager X. Li could celebrate last time after the Super League win against Dalian Professional. It was a FA Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Shanghai Shenhua wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
It's early days yet, but Shandong Luneng has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Let's have a look at how Shandong Luneng performed last season in the Super League: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 55 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 7 with 26/22 goals scored/conceded.
