With their 11 point advantage in the league table, Wuhan Zall fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Henan Jianye.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Wuhan Zall form and stats
Wuhan Zall have played 7 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). The Wuhan Zall manager J. González López might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Wuhan haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 370 minutes ago. E. Gnahore scored that one.
Wuhan faced defeat in their previous match, away at Henan Jianye (0-1). 0-0 away at Tianjin Teda before that.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wuhan have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won seven times, drawn one and lost one.
A decent goal production from Wuhan in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. On the other hand, Wuhan Zall have conceded 8 goals.
Henan Jianye form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Henan Jianye so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Jianye as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Shenzhen match.
Jianye won their last game, 1-0 versus Wuhan Zall played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Shanghai Shenhua wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Henan Jianye have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, three draws and four defeats.
Jianye have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. The Jianye manager Javier Pereira has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
