Wuhan Yangtze form and stats
Wuhan Yangtze's results here at Changshu Sports Centre Stadium in the Super League have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. It's trouble wherever Wuhan Yangtze are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Wuhan Yangtze experienced a slightly shocking loss 1-4 against Cangzhou Mighty Lions in their previous match, also played in front of their own fans. Midfield player Xu got a match rating of 7.4 in that game, the max score being 10. Xu scored one goal and had 33 successful passes (of 40 total).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Changchun Yatai (0-2).Goal party? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 12 of the 13 latest league games with this side has seen three or more goals.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Yangtze, as the Super League home game vs Hangzhou is only four days away.
The Wuhan Yangtze fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Wuhan Yangtze are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (24 from 10 played).
Chengdu Rongcheng form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Super League travels is 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
Rongcheng have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 253 minutes ago. Romulo was the goal scorer.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Chengdu Rongcheng, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Shanghai SIPG (placed 4th). That defeat was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Midfielder Rômulo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.01. Rômulo hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and had 26 successful passes (of 32 total).
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Henan Jianye.Chengdu Rongcheng have another match away from home in just four sleeps, a Super League match versus Dalian Professional. A strenuous itinerary for the visitors!
It's not easy to score on Rongcheng as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
