Chengdu Rongcheng (home)
- Chengdu are top of the Chinese Super League 2026 with 43 points from 19 games.
- John Aloisi's young side are a pacey, passing, attack-minded team that is built around the energy, tempo and ball circulation of midfield combinations, wide overloads and aggressive pressing.
- This approach has seen them remain unbeaten in their last 5 matches across all competitions, although the momentum created by 2 wins has been dampened slightly by 3 straight ties.
Beijing Guoan (away)
- Beijing Guoan are 7th in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 22 points from 18 matches.
- Nick Montgomery's disciplined, high-pressing team will be a much tougher nut to crack, however.
- Beijing arrive on a good run of 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 across all contests, so they are well in the game.
Head-to-Head
Chengdu's last 2 Chinese Super League 2026 games have both finished 1-1 - one at home against Chongqing Tongliang Long and the other away to Qingdao West Coast FC - and they should be confident of picking up a win against 7th-placed Beijing, who they beat 2-1 away at the end of May .
Key Players
- Felipe is Chengdu's goal machine, with 11 in 13 Chinese Super League 2026 matches, while Shihao Wei has bagged 4 of his side's 10 goals in their last 5 games.
- Beijing are led by 7-goal striker Yuning Zhang, who has scored 7 in 17 games in the Chinese Super League 2026, with Serginho chipping in 3 of the club's last 9 goals.
Betting Insights
- Both teams to score is priced at a very short 1.47 for this fixture, but we think the odds on the goal markets are a little better.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.56 seems a decent price for a game that should have some end-to-end rhythm to it, while Chengdu are favourites at 2.04, Guoan are 3.26, and the draw is 3.99.
Prediction
Chengdu's 7-1-1 record , momentum and home field advantage make them the likeliest winners here, but Guoan's form and pressing game should make this a close, tight clash, not a runaway.
