Shenzhen challenge Hebei CFFC for praise and sporting success.
- Shenzhen have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Shenzhen and Hebei CFFC.
