WLLDWL

Henan Jianye will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 0-1 Super League defeat in their last game at the hands of Tianjin TEDA.

In that game, Henan Jianye had 66% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Henan Jianye was Toni Šunjić (2' Own goal). Tianjin Jinmen Tiger had 5 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Henan Jianye have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Henan Jianye have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 8 goals during that time. Still, time will tell if that trend shall be replicated in this upcoming game.
