With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Shenzhen fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Qingdao Hainiu.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Shenzhen form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Shenzhen have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at Jinzhou Stadium.
A strong away win for Shenzhen against Qingdao Hainiu the last match, as Harold Preciado were on target. Before that, Shenzhen played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Shijiazhuang Ever Bright.
Shenzhen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Shenzhen have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Qingdao Hainiu form and stats
There's been little loot from Qingdao Hainiu's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Super League. Qingdao Hainiu only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing five defeats in a row for Qingdao in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Tianjin Teda.
Home advantage was not enough for Qingdao in their previous game, as they lost their Super League-match, hosting Shenzhen, 0-1. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Wuhan Zall (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties).
Qingdao have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. The Qingdao manager J. Wu has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Shenzhen, three draws and three wins for Qingdao Hainiu. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
