- Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are 6th in Super League 2025 with 25 points from 16 games.
- Chengdu Rongcheng FC are 3rd in Super League 2025 with 34 points from 16 games.
A tight affair between two well organised sides
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are a well-disciplined and structured team who have been working with head coach Yu Genwei since March 2021.
They set up to be solid and stingy at home, waiting for their chance to hit on the break.
Veteran midfielder Zhao Yingjie is the heartbeat of the team, dictating play from deep and ensuring that the defensive line stays tight when they are pressed.
Farley Rosa on the wing is usually the most likely to provide a bit of flair, whilst Alberto Quiles is their most reliable goal threat, netting 10 goals in 16 Super League 2025 appearances.
However, they haven’t fared well against this week’s opponents Chengdu Rongcheng FC and will be looking for revenge after failing to win either of the last two home games between the pair.
They lost 3-0 away to Shanghai Shenhua three weeks ago but bounced back with a vital 2-1 away win at Meizhou Hakka two weeks ago.

Chengdu Rongcheng FC have the most to gain from this fixture

The visitors are a fast-paced, attack-minded side, who like to press high, be versatile with their formations and get players forward. Brazilian midfielder Romulo is the engine room of this team, driving the tempo, whilst Shihao Wei leads the frontline and provides the goals, with eight goals in 15 Super League 2025 outings. Wing-back Tang Miao provides the width and tenacity, often joining the attack but always available to get back and track the opposition wingers.
