A real test awaits both sides at the Chongqing Longxing Football Stadium, China
Chongqing are third in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 29 points from 21 games, but Shanghai Port are not too far away in 12th place with 19 points from 20 matches. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Shanghai Port FC preview suggests this is a clash of two very different playing styles and it should be a very interesting contest this Sunday.
Jianye Liu has turned Chongqing into a compact five-man defensive block that sits deep, frustrates opponents and then explodes at pace when they win the ball back and counter-attack. Shanghai Port, on the other hand, are all about dominating the ball, maintaining a high tempo and pressing man-to-man under Kevin Muscat, who has stuck with a 4-2-3-1 system since his arrival at the club on 1st January 2024.
The clash of styles looks set to be possession vs counter and this fixture already has a bit of spice to it given that Chongqing won the reverse fixture in the Chinese Super League 2026 2-1 away three months ago. However, Shanghai Port are the slight favorites here at 2.13, with Chongqing set at 3.34 and the draw at 3.59. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Shanghai Port FC prediction points to a close contest, while Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Shanghai Port FC betting tips also lean toward a low-scoring game.
Chongqing are a much tougher nut to crack at home
While Chongqing have lost back-to-back matches, they have won 1 and drawn 1 of their previous two home fixtures, which keeps the home edge alive here. Jianye Liu's men started the season with a 2-0 home win over Qingdao West Coast FC. Chongqing will surely keep it tight here and try to drag the visitors into a scrappy game, and with an average of 1.40 goals per game scored and 1.00 goals per game conceded at home in the Chinese Super League 2026, we feel that the under 2.5 goals option at 2.0 fits this matchup nicely. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Shanghai Port FC prediction once again highlights the value in backing a disciplined home performance.
Shanghai Port to edge a tight game?
Chongqing started the week with a 2-0 victory at home to Qingdao West Coast FC in the FA Cup 2026, but were unable to maintain their momentum with a 1-0 loss away to Wuhan Three Towns and a 2-0 defeat away to Shenzhen Peng FC.
The visitors have an average of 1.20 goals scored and 1.60 goals conceded per away game in the Chinese Super League 2026 this term and seem to have a little more quality across the pitch. Leonardo, with 6 goals in 16 appearances, is Shanghai Port's most prolific player and provides a reliable finisher at the top of the front three, while Landry Dimata is Chongqing's primary threat with 7 goals in 18 Chinese Super League 2026 matches, 2 of which have come in his team's last 5 fixtures.
This match has all the makings of a tight contest, but the odds on Shanghai Port give the away side the edge and it could take a moment of magic or a brilliant piece of counter-attacking to settle this one. Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Shanghai Port FC prediction leans toward a narrow away win.
