Beijing are in good attacking form
Guoan have been more positive in the attacking third since Nick Montgomery took over as manager in January 2026. He has implemented a high-intensity pressing game where Beijing look to force turnovers high up the pitch and exploit teams in transition.
This Beijing Guoan FC vs Qingdao Hainiu prediction is strengthened by Guoan having won 2 of their last 5 in the league, with their previous two results coming on home soil where they won 3-0 against Dalian Yingbo and drew 2-2 against Shanghai Port. Yuning Zhang leads the line with 6 goals in 11 league games and is a constant threat to opposing defenses. Xizhe Zhang has contributed 3 goals in their last 5 and they will pose a significant threat to the visiting side this Friday.

Yaw Yeboah leads the scoring for Hainiu with 5 goals in 11 league matches and he will be looking to add to his account on Friday.
