Shijiazhuang Ever Bright form and stats

Three Super League home games done for Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Shijiazhuang are very eager to stop a potential losing streak, having lost their two previous games here.

The Shijiazhuang crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Shandong Luneng here in a Super League match. Liao Chengjian was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.02 out of 10. The defender Chengjian won 3 of 4 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Shenzhen.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Shijiazhuang matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and zero defeats (from two games).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shijiazhuang as they are travelling to their away game against Henan Jianye in the Super League. That match is three days after this one.

Qingdao Hainiu form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Super League for Qingdao Hainiu with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Qingdao Hainiu has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Qingdao Hainiu are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the Super League.

The manager J. Wu was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground. Qingdao Hainiu suffered a 0-6 loss to Guangzhou Evergrande (placed 2nd). Romain Alessandrini, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.23. Alessandrini hit one key pass. Qingdao lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one.

Prior to that match, the Qingdao manager J. Wu faced defeat when travelling to Henan Jianye and losing 0-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Qingdao playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, one draw and zero home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Qingdao are hosting Shenzhen in the Super League only three days away.

Goals are few and far between in Qingdao's away league games. Only 0 goals from 3 travels. As opposed to that, Qingdao have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
