The Henan players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Chengdu Rongcheng recently, that ended in a 4-2 defeat.  They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Chengdu Rongcheng managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.  

Manager Ki-il Nam will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end.   They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 10 of their 11 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.

The 2-1 home defeat to Shandong Taishan will not have sat easily with the Wuhan Three Towns squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  In that game they had 58% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Shandong Taishan who had 14 attempts and 7 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 20 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 9 of their 11 games overall.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.  

The Wuhan Three Towns travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Pedro Henrique, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
