It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Henan Jianye, who are travelling more than 1500 kilometers to play this game.
Shenzhen form and stats
Shenzhen have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Super League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Shenzhen are returning here after visiting Chongqing Dangdai Lifan in a Super League game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Mincheng Yuan and Alan Kardec (2) scored the goal(s). Alan Kardec, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.25 (out of 10). Kardec scored two goals and hit one key pass. The 3-0 win against Chongqing Dangdai Lifan was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle.
Ahead of that match, Shenzhen won a home game hosting Shijiazhuang Ever Bright (2-1).The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Shenzhen matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and one defeat (from three games).
There will be little rest for Shenzhen after this match as they are travelling to Qingdao Hainiu for a Super League game in only three days.
Shenzhen has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Shenzhen have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Henan Jianye form and stats
The Super League season is young and Henan Jianye have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
Jianye has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Guangzhou R&F for a Super League game that ended a draw (1-1). Gouming Wang (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.81. Wang saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with five saves.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Qingdao Hainiu.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Jianye when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning one game.
A new game in only three days for Henan Jianye, the Super League home match versus Shijiazhuang Ever Bright. Busy days.
The visiting Jianye have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 3 goals from 3 games. 4 goals have been conceded by Jianye in these games.
