Shanghai Shenhua, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Henan, Shanghai Shenhua manager Wu Jingui will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Henan who had 12 attempts and 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 11 of their 12 home games this season.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
On an individual basis, Obafemi Martins will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Shanghai Shenhua's last 6 league games.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Recent FormThe Cangzhou Mighty Lions squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Wuhan Three Towns, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 33% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Wuhan Three Towns, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having lost 15 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Zhao Junzhe will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 5 goals they scored. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 23 of their 25 games.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Matheus Leite will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Cangzhou Mighty Lions.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Shanghai Shenhua.
Goals should be on the cards for Shenhua in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Cangzhou in their last 5 meetings together. In their last 2 league meetings with Shenhua, Cangzhou have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
Shenhua has won the last 2 games they've played against Cangzhou in the league.
