Key Players
- Cleber is the hot hand for Yukun, scoring 4 times in the team's last 5 matches in which they have netted 10 goals.
- Oscar Taty Maritu is the team's playmaker and he has been pulling the strings of late, assisting 3 goals in the same period.
- Landry Dimata leads the way for Chongqing, who have scored just 10 goals in 13 away games, suggesting they may be blunt on their travels again.
- Dimata has 7 goals in 23 appearances, which pales in comparison to Yunnan's top scorer Oscar Taty Maritu, who has 20 goals in 26 games in the Chinese Super League 2026.
Betting Insights
- The draw at 4.2 has its appeal but there is enough momentum behind Yunnan, who have averaged 2.38 goals per game on their home turf to take 31 this season, for them to get the job done.
- Therefore, the odds of 1.74 on the home team look generous, considering Chongqing are available at 4.25.
- Both teams to score at 1.5 fits this lively matchup well, but over 2.5 goals at 1.46 is the sharper bet if the game opens up.
