Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Recent FormAn important point secured against Henan Songshan Longmen will have left Cangzhou Mighty Lions quite happy with their 1-1 draw. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Svetozar Sapuric will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 8 draws in 15 home league games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Cangzhou Stadium, Matheus Leite will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Shanghai Shenhua, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Shanghai Shenhua and Guangzhou City in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Guangzhou City who had 10 attempts and 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Wu Jingui will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Shanghai Shenhua, Obafemi Martins will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
