Catching up with the top clubs is the subject when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both are targeting to strenghten their league table position, Shanghai SIPG in 7th and Shenzhen in 9th position.
- Shanghai SIPG have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
- Shenzhen have the most points from losing position (7) in Super League
It's quite the trip for Shenzhen when visiting Shanghai SIPG as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Shanghai SIPG form and stats
2-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Shanghai SIPG so far this season.
The Shanghai coach Leko and his pawns return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Dalian Yifang (placed 15th).
Preceding that match was the home game against Wuhan Three Towns that was lost 0-1.Shanghai SIPG have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Shanghai 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.
Shenzhen form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Shenzhen playing as the away team in the Super League this season.
Shenzhen might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hangzhou proved too strong as Shenzhen slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre. It's a bit troubling for Shenzhen that their keeper Dong managed seven saves in the Hangzhou match, but still could not hinder a defeat.
Before that, Shenzhen secured a home win against Beijing Guoan with the score 2-1.The visiting Shenzhen have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 5 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Shenzhen have conceded 9 goals on the road.
