Shenzhen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shenzhen, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Super League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Shenzhen are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Shanghai Shenhua fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
