Qingdao West Coast FC (Home)
- Qingdao West Coast FC sit 6th in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 38 points from 27 games - just one point behind Yunnan Yukun FC in 5th after 28.
- Qingdao have conceded just 13 goals at a rate of 0.93 per game at home, but they've been a little unconvincing recently with one win, three draws and one defeat from their last five matches.
- Qingdao have drawn three of their last five games, and suffered a 0-4 home defeat to Dalian Yingbo last time out.
Yunnan Yukun FC (Away)
- Yunnan Yukun have won only three of their 14 CSL 2026 away games so far, while the hosts have failed to bag points only once in 14 matches in front of their own fans.
- Vinyals' side have been a real threat on their travels in the CSL 2026, scoring 24 goals in 14 away games, so they should be able to hurt Qingdao here.
Head-to-Head
- Qingdao and Yunnan have split the last three CSL 2026 meetings with each team winning once and one draw.
- Qingdao have also failed to beat Yunnan in their last home meeting and are difficult to beat at Guzhenkou University City Sports Center.
Key Players
- Davidson is Qingdao's star man with nine CSL 2026 goals from 26 appearances and he has been on fire with four goals in his last five for the club.
- Oscar Taty Maritu, who has been a revelation for Yunnan with 20 CSL 2026 goals in 26 games, is the talisman for Jordi Vinyals' team.
- Cleber has also been in great form for Yunnan, netting five times in the same five-game spell in which the team have scored eight.
Betting Insights
- Qingdao West Coast FC are 2.27, Yunnan are 2.94 and the draw 3.75, which reflects the fact that we have two very evenly-matched sides here.
- The odds are certainly on goals because over 2.5 is 1.48 and both teams to score is 1.41, but the value lies in backing both teams to find the net in a tight game.
- But the hosts have conceded just 13 in 14 at home, so don't expect a goal-fest.
Prediction
- Vinyals' side like to play a possession game, press hard and have a go when they win the ball back.
- But they use quick flank attacks, which makes them a tricky opponent.
- Qingdao are at their best when they can stay compact and hit on the break, so this could turn into a chess game with Yunnan looking to press and pin the home team back, while the home side will want to stay compact and strike on counterattacks.
