Qingdao Jonoon form and stats
Qingdao Jonoon must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Super League games here at Qingdao Tiantai Stadium.
Qingdao's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Meizhou Hakka (placed 7th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Sweet to taste a league victory after three matches without one. The attacker Kangwa won the honour of being "man of the match" for Qingdao Jonoon with the rating of 8.02/10. Kangwa hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).
Heartbreak before that as Qingdao Jonoon lost 1-2 at Shanghai SIPG's place.The manager Escalona will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Changchun Yatai in only four days.
A decent goal production from Qingdao in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded.
Hangzhou form and stats
The visitors, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) in Super League, are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Super League.
