Dalian Professional form and stats
As the visiting team matches, Dalian Professional, who have the fewest points (0) away in Super League, have produced an overall stat of 0-0-4 so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for Dalian Professional who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Shijiazhuang Ever Bright was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Professional's previous game was their home loss versus Tianjin Teda (0-1). Late heartbreak for Dalian Professional in the Tianjin Teda match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime. Tsonev got a match rating of 7.33 in that game, top player of the team. Tsonev hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
A loss against Hangzhou was the result prior to that, in a home game.With the team playing at home given a victory chance of approximately 80% by the bookies, any useful result for the away side would be a small shock.
