Shenzhen form and stats

There's been little loot from Shenzhen's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 14 away games in the Super League. Shenzhen only have 0 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Shenzhen have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Donkin was the last player to score for the away team. Shenzhen haven't scored a league goal in the last 278 minutes.

Shenzhen lost away at Chengdu Qianbao (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Chengdu Qianbao was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. It's a bit troubling for Shenzhen that their goalie Minzhe pulled off ten saves in the Chengdu Qianbao match, but still could not save them from a loss.

A 0-1 loss hosting Changchun Yatai before that.

Nobody expects Shenzhen to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 10 times before, with the overall statistics of won 0, draw 1 and lost 9. When defeated, 8 matches have been lost by two or more goals.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 17 of this side's 20 latest league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.

The attacking power of Shenzhen when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. The Shenzhen defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 45 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Wuhan Three Towns and Shenzhen have duelled before this season: Shenzhen - Wuhan Three Towns 1-3. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's three Wuhan victories, zero draws and zero Shenzhen wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less. Marcao loves to play against Shenzhen and have scored 4 goals in these games.
