Shenzhen Preview – Can Shenzhen break out of rut?
Second from bottom outfit, Shenzhen, head into this basement clash in Group A of the Chinese Super League on the back of a poor run of results which has seen the hosts lose their last four matches on the trot, but they’ll be hoping that they can turn things around when they entertain bottom club, Dalian Pro, at their Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre on Thursday night.
Shenzhen had started the season in promising fashion as they registered a convincing 3-0 home win against Guangzhou R&F on the opening day of the new Super League season but results have since gone south as the hosts have been handed defeats by Shanghai Shenhua, Guangzhou Evergrande, Henan Jianye and Shandong Luneng.
Indeed, wins have been hard to come by for Shenzhen as they’ve managed to collect just five wins out of their last 41 matches overall, but goals look a good option here as 10 of Shenzhen’s last 11 matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Dalian Pro Preview – Can Dalian Pro lift off bottom spot?
As mentioned earlier, Dalian Pro sit bottom of Group A in the Super League with just two points to their name thanks to draws with Henan Jianye and Shanghai Shenhua in 1-1 and 2-2 stalemates respectively, but defeats to Shandong Luneng 3-2, Jiangsu Suning 2-1 and a 1-0 loss to Guangzhou R &F have prevented the visitors from lifting themselves off the bottom of the group.
With just two wins out of their last 18 matches overall in the Chinese top flight, Dalian Pro have also found wins hard to come by and look destined to join their hosts, Shenzhen, into the Relegation Round later this term unless results improve dramatically.
Dalian Pro have also lost five of their last six matches on the road which doesn’t bode well for backers of an away win here but the goals angle does appeal as five of Dalian Pro’s last six away matches have also seen over 2.5 goals scored.
