On July 21st at 7:35 PM, Henan will host Zhejiang in the 24th round of the Chinese Super League. After strengthening their defense during the summer transfer window, Henan hope to take revenge at home. Zhejiang, known for their struggles on the road, are hoping to end their away losing streak.
After 19 rounds, Henan sits in 9th place with a record of 5 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses. They have scored 24 goals and conceded 30. In their previous 10 home games, Henan have secured 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, ranking 8th in the league in terms of home form.
Zhejiang, with a record of 9 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses, has the fewest draws in the league. They are currently in 6th place, scoring 33 goals and conceding 35. In their previous 9 away games, Zhejiang have only managed 2 wins and 7 losses, scoring 8 goals and conceding 24, placing them second from bottom in the away table.
Henan’s summer signings of Yelijang, Ding Haifeng, and He Guan have significantly bolstered their defense. Meanwhile, Zhejiang will be without their starting goalkeeper Zhao Bo and midfielder Qian Jiegei due to injury. Additionally, Zhejiang’s second-choice goalkeeper Dong Chunyu and defensive core Lucas both made crucial mistakes leading to goals in the last match, casting a shadow over their away game.
Although Henan has gone two games without a win, they had previously enjoyed a three-game winning streak. Even during their winless streak, their defense has impressed, only conceding one goal against Shanghai SIPG and drawing 0-0 against Shenzhen FC. In their last three home league games, Henan has won two and lost one, including a 2-1 victory over Beijing Guoan.
Zhejiang, on the other hand, is facing a double-edged losing streak, conceding 7 goals in two matches. Their away form in the CSL has taken a hit, suffering four consecutive defeats, conceding 14 goals in the process, averaging over 3 goals conceded per game.
The two teams have met 24 times in the CSL (including the FA Cup), resulting in a balanced record of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses. However, Zhejiang has only won 2 times on the road against Henan, with their last victory in Zhengzhou dating back to the 2012 season.
In the first leg of this season, Zhejiang emerged victorious at home with a 4-1 scoreline. Facing a team notorious for their away struggles, Henan hopes to capitalize on their home advantage and seek revenge. Meanwhile, Zhejiang will need to secure points to solidify their position in 6th place on the table.
