China are getting ready to clash with Haiti on Friday at Hindmarsh Stadium. The match is played as one of the games in round two of the group stage at the World Cup.
China sit as number three with zero points following their opening Group D match, with Haiti having zero points as number four.
Heading into their next World Cup match China will be disappointed not to come out the other end with a win. They should have enough quality to see off Haiti as they look for plain sailing in the group. Coming away from their next World Cup match with anything but a defeat for Haiti would be a massive surprise. It looks like a question of simply trying to minimize the defeat everyone expects them to suffer.
Form: China vs Haiti
China Form
It’s been a bit of everything for China from the past three matches. They managed a 2-1 victory over Russia, before drawing 2-2 against Colombia. Their most recent match ended in disappointment, as Denmark won 1-0. China claimed a modest two wins from their previous 10 internationals across all tournaments. They drew five of the games, whilst losing three.
Haiti Form
Based on their past three matches, results have been disastrous for Haiti. They first lost 2-0 to Costa Rica, then 2-1 to South Korea, and finally 1-0 to England. Haiti claimed three wins in their last 10 internationals across all tournaments, while also drawing zero along the way. They endured defeat in seven of the games in this run.
China need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.

Topscorer
As the World Cup campaign has recently started, we are still a bit in the dark, as to which striker will dominate the top scorer table for China and Haiti in this tournament. However, there might be some interesting prospects, when looking at the list of players who are in the best form at the moment.
WIN – DRAW – WIN
OVER – UNDER
China witnessed over 2.5 goals in four of their previous ten matches across all tournaments. Over 2.5 goals came up in seven of Haiti’s previous eight matches across all tournaments.
BTTS & FIRST TO SCORE
Surprisingly, China only scored the first goal of the match in zero out of their last ten games. Curiously, Haiti only scored the opening goal of the match in two of the last seven away games.
China probably enjoy the prospect of scoring this coming Friday, as Haiti managed only one clean sheet in the previous 10 matches. The former claimed four clean sheets in their last 10 matches.
