Chongqing Tongliang Long
- Chongqing Tongliang Long have a solid mid-table position in 9th, with 33 points from 28 games.
- Chongqing Tongliang Long drew 1-1 in their last 2 matches, so their recent form reads: 5 games, 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
- Chongqing have drawn 1-1 in their last 2 games and the form book reads 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses over the last 5 - the last 2 home games were a draw and a loss.
- Jianye Liu's side have played a smart 4-2-3-1 since he took over as head coach on 14th December 2025, but Chongqing will be desperate for a reaction after those last 2 home results, where they were thoroughly outplayed.
- At home in the Chinese Super League 2026, Chongqing have been hard to beat but still beatable - 4 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses from 14 matches so far.
Qingdao Hainiu
- Qingdao Hainiu have endured a 2026 season to forget and sit in 16th, with just 14 points from 28 matches.
- While Chongqing sit in a comfortable mid-table 9th place with 33 points from 28, Saturday's visitors Qingdao Hainiu are in real trouble, occupying 16th spot with just 14 points from 28.
- On the road, Qingdao have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 12 of their 14 Chinese Super League 2026 games, so their form is simply dreadful and we cannot see them getting anything here.
Key Players
- Landry Dimata has been the main goal threat for Chongqing with 7 Chinese Super League 2026 goals in 23 appearances.
- Yaw Yeboah has lit up the pitch for 疯牛 on occasion, he's scored 7 in 20 for the club this year.
- Chongqing's best chance of success on Saturday will be on the turnovers.
- The hosts want to spring forward in transition, while Qingdao are all about compact defending and selective pressing.
Betting Insights
- The Under 2.5 goals odds of 2.08 and Both Teams to Score - No odds of 1.82 also look playable for this cagey clash.
- The odds on Chongqing are a bit on the low side but the form of both sides dictates that the odds are right - Qingdao's away form is just far too patchy to take a risk on and Chongqing are the only team who look like they'll be playing to win on Saturday.
Prediction
- Back the hosts to hold their nerve.
- Chongqing are clear favourites for Saturday's Chinese Super League 2026 matchup with Qingdao Hainiu and look likeliest to control transitions and create the better chances.
- Qingdao's away form and defensive posture suggest this will be a cagey game, so a narrow home win or a match where Both Teams to Score - No lands are the most plausible outcomes.
