Chengdu Rongcheng can make most of home field advantage
Chengdu Rongcheng FC enter this FA Cup 2025 as the favorites and a 5-0 victory over Shenzhen Peng City FC on June 25, 2025 will be the standout result in their recent run of two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five in all competitions. The hosts are led by Seo Jung-won, who guided them to Chinese Super League promotion in 2022 and has the players in the squad playing an intense, high-pressing style that is relentless. According to our Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Henan FC prediction, this high pressing might be decisive in this matchup.
They get the ball back quickly and play with plenty of pace on the break, making them a dynamic team to watch. Romulo is a driving force in the midfield, registering four goals and two assists, while Shihao Wei has been a reliable source of goals with five for the campaign so far.
Henan FC have a knack of getting results
Henan FC are coached by Daniel Ramos, who took over in April 2025 and has quickly got his side organised, although they still struggle at times. This Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Henan FC preview shows that Henan are currently 13th in the CSL and have picked up 16 points from 17 matches.
However, they are capable of grinding out a result against higher placed teams and their one win in their last five games was against Chengdu Rongcheng FC in an incredible 3-2 home win on 14th June 2025 in the CSL. For those looking for Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Henan FC betting tips, Henan's defensive style and ability to counter could influence the outcome.
Henan have employed a more defensive style of play, with Ramos instilling a sense of solidity within the team and looking to be solid at the back, frustrating their opponents and trying to get at their defence on the counter. Bruno Nazario is one of their key players in midfield with three goals and four assists, while defender Iago Maidana has four to his name.
Henan have the knack of raising their game
Chengdu Rongcheng FC are rightly favorites here, and in this Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Henan FC prediction, with home-field advantage, better league form and the odds in their favour, we think they will get through to the FA Cup final in 2025.
But Henan FC do have the ability to raise their levels on a big occasion, as they proved when they upset Chengdu Rongcheng FC in their last head-to-head. They will be desperate to stay in the competition and will look to frustrate the home side for as long as they can before looking to nick it.
The 3-2 scoreline from their last head-to-head is tempting here, but the Chengdu Rongcheng FC vs Henan FC prediction also suggests taking the both teams to score wager, as there are plenty of reasons to think they can both find the net in this potentially open game.
A clash in styles is brewing as the teams prepare to meet in the FA Cup 2025, and it could be an interesting cup match.
