Super League: Shenzhen are 23 points after Changchun Yatai, but intend to go full force. Bring it on!
- Shenzhen have the most conceded goals (70) in Super League
It's quite the trip for Changchun Yatai when visiting Shenzhen as the cities are 3000 kilometers apart.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Shenzhen form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Shenzhen have only managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses from their games here at Shenzhen Bao'an Stadium. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Shenzhen have lost eight games in a row.
Shenzhen experienced an unexpected loss 0-5 against Hangzhou in their previous match, also played in front of their own fans. Shenzhen were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Dong had a busy but productive day in the Hangzhou match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.
Heartbreak before that as Shenzhen lost 1-5 at Meizhou Hakka's place.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Shenzhen have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 9 from 9 games. 8 defeats by at least two goals.
Lots of goals? Who knows the future, but we do know that 16 of the 18 latest league matches with this club has seen three or more goals.
Shenzhen have scored {12 league goals} here from 13 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Shenzhen are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (29 from 13 played).
Changchun Yatai form and stats
Changchun Yatai have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Super League, after 3-3-7 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Changchun's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Changchun Yatai played 1-1 against Beijing Guoan in their previous match. Midfielder Serginho was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.14. Serginho served one assist and hit three key passes.
A 0-2 defeat away at Shanghai Port before that.A tale of few goals? 8 of this side's most recent 10 league rounds have had two goals or less.
Changchun have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 16 goals have been scored. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Changchun Yatai have conceded 22 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
