- Chongqing have won 4 of their 9 home matches in the Chinese Super League 2026 (D4, L1).
- Zhejiang have lost 5 of their 9 away matches in the Chinese Super League 2026 (W3, D1).
- Chongqing beat Zhejiang 1-0 away in the Chinese Super League 2026 three months ago.
Chongqing's home form can see them past inconsistent Zhejiang
Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Zhejiang Professional FC preview: Chongqing Tongliang Long are 2.25 favorites to beat 2.81 away team Zhejiang Professional at the Chongqing Longxing Football Stadium on Saturday with the odds in the game also pointing to a close game with the draw set at 3.58.
Chongqing are currently 2nd in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 28 points from 18 games while Zhejiang Professional are 11th with 17 points from 17 matches.
And that difference in the standings is all that should really separate these two sides when the game comes down on Saturday. Zhejiang arrive in a worse state than their hosts, having won only 1 of their last 5 matches and lost 4 times during that span.
They have lost three in a row coming into this clash, most recently 3-1 away at Qingdao West Coast and 3-2 at Shanghai Shenhua.
Ross Aloisi's side have won only three of their nine away matches in the Chinese Super League 2026 (D1, L5) which would be a bad omen for their chances of avoiding defeat in this clash.
But they did respond to a 3-1 defeat to Liaoning Tieren FC with a 1-1 draw at Chengdu Rongcheng FC and have the capacity to grind out a point even when not at their best.
Jianye Liu has Chongqing Tongliang Long well organised in a compact and survival-first shape while the visitors play a possession-based game that is coach-led and requires patience.
There is a contrast in styles here that could lead to a tense clash in which control of transition might rule the day.
Chongqing will sit deep and look to break fast while Zhejiang will probe and circulate the ball.
Landry Dimata is the main finisher in the home side's attack with six goals in 15 Chinese Super League 2026 appearances while Yudong Wang is Zhejiang's main threat with six in 17.
But it's Alexandru Mitrita who has been the creative spark for Zhejiang with eight assists in 12 league appearances and a hot spell for the home team's Yuwang Xiang, who has scored three of their seven goals in the last five.
This Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Zhejiang Professional FC prediction suggests Chongqing have a better overall record and, having beaten Zhejiang 1-0 away three months ago, are the likelier winners on paper.
But the market is probably correct to have them as just favourites and not a sure bet, so Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Zhejiang Professional FC betting tips point to over 2.5 goals at 1.65 here, particularly if the visitors need to chase the result.
