Meizhou Hakka

LDWWLL

Meizhou Hakka will be hoping to bounce back here following the 0-2 Super League loss in their previous game against Shanghai SIPG.

In that match, Meizhou Hakka managed 40% possession and 5 shots at goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Shanghai Port had 13 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Wu Lei (95') was the scorer for Shanghai SIPG.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Meizhou Hakka have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Meizhou Hakka have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals on the way. Such a trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, though.
