Happy Valley form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Happy Valley have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground. It's trouble wherever Valley are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
In their previous game, the manager K. Pau led his Valley to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Southern District. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground.
Prior to that, an away loss at Eastern.Happy Valley are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Happy Valley have conceded 14 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Tai Chung form and stats
There's been little loot from Tai Chung's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Premier League. Tai Chung, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Premier League, only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. It's a growing despair in Chung as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Chung aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 181 league minutes without a goal. F. Sa was the last player to find the net.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Rangers with 0-6 on the scoreboard. Chung 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.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Warriors wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Chung's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 19 goals in 7 travels.
