It's early days in the Super League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Shanghai Shenhua have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Wuhan Zall form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Wuhan Zall's two home games so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Wuhan Sports Center Stadium.The fans are hoping that Wuhan Zall will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Super League game against Shanghai SIPG. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Jiangsu Suning.
Wuhan Zall has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games.
Shanghai Shenhua form and stats
Things could have gone better for Shanghai Shenhua in their away games, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.It might be tough going out on the road again for Shanghai Shenhua, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Guangzhou R&F. Before that, Shanghai Shenhua secured a home win against Beijing Renhe with the score 5-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Shanghai Shenhua playing away and similar expectations, we found 45 relevant matches. Results were 13 Shanghai Shenhua wins, 11 draws and 21 defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in away games so far, Shanghai Shenhua has managed 3 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.
