Not an easy place to go
Chongqing Longxing Football Stadium, China, won't be a happy hunting ground for Dalian Young Boy FC on Sunday. On paper, the visitors have better players and they may have a little more confidence after beating their opponents 1-0 in the reverse fixture, but Dalian have been poor on their travels in Chinese Super League 2026, winning just twice in 11 attempts. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Dalian Young Boy FC preview suggests a tight contest, and Dalian will need to improve away from home to get a result.
Jianye Liu's Chongqing side have been solid at home, where they've gone 4-5-2 across their 11 league games played at Longxing. Their success has been built on control and grind with the five-man defensive shell packing tight and their full-backs providing the width in an attempt to spring fast vertical attacks. Tongliang Long do live off set pieces and are often a threat from corners. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Dalian Young Boy FC prediction points to another game where dead-ball situations could be decisive.
The hosts are seventh in the table on 30 points from 23 games with Dalian sixth on 32 from 22. Chongqing's recent results have been a mixed bag of a 2-0 away loss to Shenzhen Peng FC, a 2-3 home defeat to Shanghai Port FC and a 0-0 draw away at Qingdao West Coast FC. Dalian are in similar form, coming into this after a 1-0 home win over Liaoning Tieren FC and a 3-1 away loss to Yunnan Yukun FC.
Dalian may have the edge
Landry Dimata has been Chongqing's best finisher with seven Chinese Super League 2026 goals in 20 appearances and will likely be their main goal threat on Sunday. Dalian, who have managed only 13 goals on the road in this campaign, may not be good enough to unlock the Chongqing defense, but should they profit from any mistakes, they have a more than capable marksman in Cephas Malele, who has eight goals in 18 Chinese Super League 2026 appearances. Dalian are 2.72 to win in the full time betting odds, Chongqing 2.59 and the draw 3.41, so this is definitely a close one. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Dalian Young Boy FC betting tips back a low-scoring affair here. Guoxu Li's team have been much more proactive on the pitch this season, setting up on a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 system with players spread wide and sustained pressure in the final third. Chongqing have conceded only 13 goals in 11 home league fixtures, so the visitors won't find it easy to break them down. The most likely outcome looks like a Dalian win by a narrow margin or a low scoring draw, but Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Dalian Young Boy FC prediction still leans toward Under 2.5 goals at 1.91, which feels like the sharpest bet in the game and matches the feel of this as a chess match.
