Nantong Zhiyun had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Henan.  They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Henan's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They've had a dismal run of form at Rugao Olympic Sports Center recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation.

Shanghai Shenhua manager Leonid Slutskiy will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Beijing Guoan.  They came away from that fixture with a 51% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Beijing Guoan, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.  

Slutskiy will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 14 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 3 goals in that time.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games away from home.  

3 wins in a row away from home has to be viewed as a good run of form on the road, a spell that has also seen them unbeaten in their last 5 matches.  

Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Shanghai Shenhua, André Luís will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
