Wuxi Wugou will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-2 Chinese FA Cup triumph versus Shanghai Zetian.

An interesting feature of recent Wuxi Wugou games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their previous sextet of matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one.

Nantong Zhiyun

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sichuan Jiuniu in Super League competition, Nantong Zhiyun will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Nantong Zhiyun managed 62% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. On the other side, Shenzhen Peng City got 12 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Eden Kartsev (45') scored for Sichuan Jiuniu.

Looking at their form, and Nantong Zhiyun have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 11 goals overall. Defensively, Nantong Zhiyun certainly have room for improvement. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this game, however.
