Closing in on the top teams is the target when these mid-table teams do battle. Both will be targeting to better their league status, Shanghai SIPG in 10th and Hangzhou in 7th spot.
- Shanghai SIPG have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
- Hangzhou have the fewest matches over the total-line (2) in Super League
This promises to be an engrossing match with lots of fun and excitement as both sides are well refreshed since they last played a game. Let's get started!
Shanghai SIPG form and stats
Shanghai SIPG have collected 7 points from their Super League home games so far after 2-1-2.
No payout for Shanghai SIPG in their previous match, an away game at Shenzhen that ended in defeat 0-2. Did Shanghai get overconfident in their match against Shenzhen? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 0-2 defeat.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Dalian Professional that finished 1-1.Low on goals? In this club's last 12 league matches, 9 have had zero, one or two goals.
Shanghai SIPG have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Shanghai SIPG are not conceding a lot of goals here at Dalian Sports Center in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
Hangzhou form and stats
As the visiting team in Super League matches, Hangzhou have produced an overall stat of 2-2-2 so far.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Hangzhou goalkeeper Chao Gu is eager to challenge this, with his 302 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
It's the second away game in a row for Hangzhou, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Shenzhen (placed 6th) last time out. Abnormal, but still true: this side has seen three consecutive league games with the result 2-0! Gao got a match rating of 8.8 in that game, top player of the team. Gao scored two goals, hit three key passes and had 20 successful passes (of 22 total).
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Guangzhou R&F.Few goals the story here? 9 of this team's last 11 league fixtures have seen two or less goals.
Hangzhou have another game away from home in just four nights, a Super League fixture versus Cangzhou Mighty Lions. A gruelling diary for the visiting team!
