Shanghai Shenhua have travelled here for an action-packed game against the home side Shenzhen. Get ready for the match with this thorough Super League preview!
- Shenzhen have the most conceded goals (5) at home in Super League
- Shanghai Shenhua have the fewest conceded goals (1) in Super League
Shanghai Shenhua have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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 Shanghai Shenhua.
Shenzhen form and stats
1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Shenzhen so far this season.
The Shenzhen fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre: A 0-1 defeat against Cangzhou Mighty Lions (placed 11th). The talented striker Alessandrini bested all the other footballers in that match and got a match rating of 7.14 out of 10. Alessandrini hit the woodwork once, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 36 successful passes (of 43 total).
Before that, Shenzhen drew at home versus Henan Jianye.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Shenzhen, as the Super League home game vs Dalian Professional is only four days away.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Shenzhen here at Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). Shenzhen have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Shanghai Shenhua form and stats
Shanghai Shenhua are still undefeated on their travels in the Super League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Shanghai had fun at their own home (Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre) last time out, beating Dalian Professional 1-0. Yu scored. Defender Zhu was the best team player with a rating of 7.71. Zhu hit one key pass and won 6 of 10 duels.
Before that, Shanghai Shenhua travelled to Shanghai SIPG and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.Considering a bet on a low-scoring game? 5 league fixtures in a row with this team have had zero, one or two goals.
A new game in only four days for Shanghai, the Super League home match versus Wuhan Three Towns. Busy days.
It's early days yet, but Shanghai Shenhua has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
