There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Nantong Zhiyun players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Qingdao Hainiu.  In that game they had 55% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Qingdao Hainiu who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.  

It's fair to say that manager Qi Zhu will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points.  They have failed to score in their last 2 home games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 26 games overall.  

Nantong Zhiyun will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Rugao Olympic Sports Center, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 6 games.

The 2-1 away defeat to Chengdu Rongcheng will not have sat easily with the Shanghai Port squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Chengdu Rongcheng's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  In their 13 away games this season they have scored in 12 games and recorded 7 clean sheets.  

Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.  

Wu Lei is the man of the moment at Shanghai Port right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
