Yunnan Yukun on a roll
Yunnan Yukun FC have been in strong form of late.
Joern Andersen’s men are unbeaten in their five most recent Super League 2025 matches (W4, D1), a run which has seen them climb into seventh spot on the standings with 19 points from 14 games.
After recording consecutive 1-2 wins away from home against Shaanxi Union FC, Yunnan are not a team to be underestimated on the road.
They have won their most recent home match, however, so will be confident of getting a result in front of their fans on Thursday.
Yunnan prefer a direct, opportunistic approach to the game.
Pedro has scored two of their six goals in the last four games, but the team’s biggest goal threat in the Super League 2025 is Alexandru Ionita with three in 11 games.
Henan have a solid base
Daniel Ramos has been in charge of Henan FC since April 2025 and he has seen his side climb away from the bottom of the standings with a more pragmatic, organised approach to games. Henan have a base from which to build and they have some decent players, but discipline and defensive organisation are the key features of Ramos’ teams.
Henan’s home game 3-2 win over Zhejiang Professional FC was a huge result last weekend after the team bounced back from a 1-3 defeat to Shanghai Port FC.
They have won two, drawn two and lost three of their seven away games in the 2025 season, scoring seven goals in seven games.
Frank Acheampong is the club’s top scorer with four goals in 14 Super League 2025 games, but Felippe Cardoso has found the net four times in Henan’s last five matches, so it looks like he’s on a hot streak.
Home side edge it
With Yunnan Yukun FC’s recent form and their home advantage, we are marginally favouring the hosts in this one, but it should be a close-run matchup.
The odds of 2.44 about a home win are slightly too short for us, while the 2.8 for Henan FC is fair, as is the 3.96 for the draw.
The visitors will take a lot of confidence into the game from remaining unbeaten in their last two away games, but Yunnan Yukun FC are a more solid team and will be hard to beat.
With both sides coming into the clash in good attacking form, we think the over 2.5 goals wager is worth a shot for those looking for goal action in this matchup.
The direct nature of Yunnan Yukun FC’s play against Henan FC’s more structured approach should open up plenty of space for an absorbing contest.
