Chengdu should justify favouritism
Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long preview: Chengdu Rongcheng FC should justify their favorable odds to take all three points from their home meeting with Chongqing Tongliang Long in the Chinese Super League 2026 this Saturday. John Aloisi's side have been in scintillating form, racking up three wins and two losses in their last five matches in all competitions.
The latest three victories include a 1-0 Chinese Super League 2026 home success over Shandong Luneng Taishan FC, a 4-0 away rout in the FA Cup and a 3-2 victory at Shenzhen Peng FC in the league.
Chengdu Rongcheng FC are scoring goals and looking good at Phoenix Mountain Professional Football Stadium, China, where they have won seven of their first eight home games in this Chinese Super League 2026 campaign, losing once and averaging 2.62 goals per game (21 total).
Counter punch could be Chongqing's path to a point
Felipe has been the team's main finisher, scoring nine goals in ten games to give them the sharp edge of their front line, but Shihao Wei has come alive recently with four goals in Chengdu's last five games in all competitions.
Chongqing's form has been less consistent with three wins and two losses in their last five, but they do come into the game. George Cimpanu is their top scorer in the Chinese Super League 2026 with five goals in 15 appearances, while Yuwang Xiang has added a bit of spark with three goals in Chongqing's last five.
Jianye Liu has his men set up in a compact, counter-attacking shape that will look to punish Chengdu when they overcommit and give the visitors space to play behind the fullbacks.
Aloisi's team are an attack-first side that play a high-tempo game with pressing and vertical switches and this should be a game where we see a clash of styles. Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long prediction suggests Chengdu are the likelier winners, but we think Chongqing's counter-punching ability combined with the 3-3 draw when these two sides last met makes this a game that could turn into a lively game once again.
Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long betting tips point to the BTTS bet at 1.92, while Chengdu are the favorites with bookmakers at 1.4, and Chongqing are 7.9 and the draw 4.89, so we'll take it.
