Offensively, they have scored 22 goals in 19 matches, averaging just over a goal per game.

They have managed to score 20 goals, but their defense has been their Achilles' heel, conceding 30 goals, which is the highest in the league. Top player, Kim Jong-soo, has been a bright spot for the team, contributing 8 goals this season, but he cannot shoulder the scoring burden alone.
In their recent matches, Yanbian has shown signs of improvement, including a vital win against a direct relegation rival. However, they have struggled to secure points away from home, which could be a significant factor in this matchup. With injuries impacting their squad depth, they will need a cohesive team effort to bring points back home from this fixture.
