Shenzhen will cross fingers that their home comfort is enough to get all three points from this grim meeting, vs spirited Hangzhou.
- Shenzhen have the most conceded goals (65) in Super League
- Hangzhou have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's quite the trip for Hangzhou when visiting Shenzhen as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.
The visiting Hangzhou played their last game only four days ago, a AFC Champions League match. That game was also an away game, at Buriram United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
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 8 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 seven games in a row.
Shenzhen faced defeat in their previous match, away at Meizhou Hakka (1-5). 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. Shenzhen's goalkeeper Dong was extremely busy against Meizhou Hakka, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves.
Preceding that match was the home game against Shandong Luneng that was lost 1-2.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 8 from 8 games. 7 defeats by at least two goals.
Lots of goals? We don't know the future, but we do know that 15 of the 17 most recent league matches with this club has contained three goals or more.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Shenzhen at home in the league. 12 on target and 24 scored by the opposition; from 12 matches. When Shenzhen hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, Nantong Zhiyun, Meizhou Hakka, Qingdao Jonoon and Dalian Yifang), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.
Hangzhou form and stats
5 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Hangzhou playing as the away team in the Super League this season. In general it has been a productive period now for Hangzhou as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.
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 Bo Zhao is eager to challenge this, with his 305 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Two away games in a row for Hangzhou, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 against Buriram United in the AFC Champions League. Midfield player Leonardo was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.65/10. Leonardo scored one goal.
Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Beijing Guoan.As mentioned earlier, Hangzhou will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 5 wins (4 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 1 surprising defeat.
