Shenzhen form and stats

Shenzhen, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Super League, have collected 10 points from their Super League home games so far after 3-1-5. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Shenzhen with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Meizhou Hakka game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Shenzhen are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 244 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Acheampong).

Shenzhen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-5 away versus Qingdao Jonoon. 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. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Hujahmat for missing a penalty kick versus Qingdao Jonoon in the 57th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Defender Tian got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.05/10. Tian won 5 of 5 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Shenzhen lost 0-5 at Beijing Guoan's place.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Shanghai SIPG to win. Let's see if Shenzhen are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 7 games found revealing 0 Shenzhen wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats.

Lots of goals and action? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 10 of the 11 latest league games with this team has contained at least three goals.

Shenzhen has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded. When Shenzhen hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Henan Jianye, Nantong Zhiyun, Meizhou Hakka, Qingdao Jonoon and Dalian Professional), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Shanghai SIPG form and stats

Shanghai go into this game after a win, the home game against Wuhan Three Towns that ended 3-1. Li has scored at least one goal for this team three matches in a row. The flair! Attacker Lei got a player rating of 7.71 in the game. "Man of the match" Lei scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Dalian Professional.
