In the last match, they lost at home to Shanghai Shenhua by (0‑1).

In the last 7 away games for the championship, Sichuan Jiuniu has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, having won 8 points out of 21 possible.

For this competition, they have not won any of the last 9 games. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 games, so they have not shown great defensive solidity, but their attack has scored regularly, as they managed to score goals in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. This is a team that rarely scores first and has only managed to open the scoring in 3 of its last 14 games in the Super League, of those 3 it reached half-time with an advantage in 1 and won at the end of the 90' ​​in 2. In 14 games in this competition, never managed to turn the score around in the 10 games in which they conceded the first goal.

Shenzhen City is bottom of the Chinese Super League. With just 10 points added, and equal on points with 15th place, the team led by Spanish coach Tato has a long way to go. It is true that they are only 1 point away from 14th place, which is the last “safe” place, or above the relegation places. However, it is worth remembering that Shenzhen City lost 4 of the last 5 games, and the best they managed was to win 1 point out of 15 possible. In the last game, the best they managed was to make it difficult for Shanghai Shenhua to win, with whom they lost by the smallest margin (0-1). Even so, the inability of Tato's team to reach the goal was glaring. Shenhua's goal came in the 14th minute, so Shenzhen City had more than 80 minutes, with stoppage time, to try to score a single goal and failed. Interestingly, Shenzhen City is the team with the worst performance at home, but the 8th best as a visitor. And only for this reason can Shenzhen City have some hope in this clash at Nantong. Especially because in the 5 direct matches between Nantong and Shenzhen City, the home team (Nantong) won 3 and drew 2. And two of these victories corresponded to the most recent matches at Nantong's home ground.
