- Dalian Yingbo have lost only three of their 11 home games in the Super League 2025, winning seven.
- Shenzhen Peng FC have won only one, drawn one and lost nine of their 11 away fixtures in Super League 2025.
Stalemate between two CSL rookies
Dalian Young Boy FC enter this game in poor form after 3 consecutive defeats, the most recent of which came at the hands of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Henan FC (2-0 and 4-0 away), respectively. Guoxu Li has instilled a compact, pragmatic system in his club since joining as head coach in June 2022, sitting deep and looking to break with quick transitions.
Li’s team have been particularly stubborn on their own patch, claiming 2 wins and just 1 defeat from their last 3 Super League 2025 matches at the home ground. The creative pivot in the No.10 position is the key player in Dalian’s play, dictating their tempo and providing the main source for the Dalian Young Boy FC vs Shenzhen Peng FC prediction and forward momentum.
Cephas Malele provides Dalian with the most consistent outlet in attack, 6 goals in 21 Super League 2025 appearances, and should be trusted to get on the scoresheet on Sunday.
Visitors struggle on the road
Shenzhen Peng FC have won two and lost three of their last five matches, claiming a 2-0 home win over Meizhou Hakka to halt a three-game losing streak. They have, however, dropped points in their last two matches, the most recent of which was a 1-0 defeat at Changchun Yatai.
The Dalian Young Boy FC vs Shenzhen Peng FC preview shows that Pep Munoz has been in charge of Shenzhen since July 2025 but has already made his mark on the team, changing their style to a more proactive pressing approach and a clearer attacking profile with two strikers. The best player in the squad is undoubtedly Wesley, who has been on a prolific scoring streak, scoring six in the club’s last five Super League 2025 matches.
Dalian to hold on at home
Dalian Young Boy FC have won seven of their 11 Super League 2025 home matches, and the hosts will be a very hard nut to crack on their own pitch on Sunday. According to our Dalian Young Boy FC vs Shenzhen Peng FC prediction, Shenzhen Peng FC have had a horrific away record in Super League 2025 this year, failing to win 10 of 11 games, and will struggle to overcome Dalian.
The odds are fair for Dalian at 1.88 with Shenzhen Peng City 3.99 underdogs. However, the visitors have scored only five goals in 11 away Super League 2025 trips and Dalian have shipped only ten at the opposite end in the same amount of fixtures. There could be value in the under 2.5 goals market here, as this clash of Dalian’s structure against Shenzhen’s directness should cause problems in wide areas and transitions.
In addition, the best Dalian Young Boy FC vs Shenzhen Peng FC betting tips suggest focusing on defensive solidity and goals markets, given the recent trends of low-scoring games and both teams' struggles up front.
The head-to-head last time out in Super League 2025 finished level at 1-1 in Shenzhen, and there is little to split these two clubs in 2025. Dalian sit ninth in the Super League 2025 with 29 points from 22 games, while Shenzhen are 13th with 20 from 23.
