Dalian vs Henan Jianye Match preview

Dalian Professional player Danielson’s last-minute effort was too late in the opening clash with Shandong Luneng, as the former team had to start the season with a 2-3 loss at home.

They quite had their share of the possession, but not well enough to use their home ground advantage in that match at 48% ball in hand. The struggle of the strikers was visible in the 3 shots that hit the target out of 11 attempts in total.

Henan Jianye was leading after the first half by a goal in their opening match at home against Jiangsu Suning. But they lost the lead after the opponents scored four goals straight in the 3-4 defeat.

Despite being at home, the Red Devils had only 45% ball possession along with their 4 corner kicks in ninety minutes, showing the lack of urgency in the attack by them. Also, they had only 7 goal attempts out of which only 3 hit the target.

Since both sides are coming on the back of a defeat at home, it will probably be a slow game at Dalian with fewer than three goals in ninety minutes.
