- Zhejiang Professional FC are undefeated in their last three home games (1 win, 2 draws).
- Chongqing Tongliang Long have an unbeaten run in their last five games (2 wins, 3 draws).
A battle of philosophies
Zhejiang Professional FC currently sit 8th in Chinese Super League 2026 after 3 games, collecting only 2 points from a possible 9. However, they are unbeaten at home this term (2 games, 1 win, 1 draw), so should be confident of collecting three points on Sunday.
Chongqing Tongliang Long have made a strong start, sitting 3rd with 5 points from their opening 3 matches. They have yet to win on the road, drawing their only away match and keeping clean sheets away, with recent highlights including a 1-0 home win over Liaoning Tieren FC and a 3-3 draw with Chengdu Rongcheng FC.
The Zhejiang Professional FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long prediction odds of 1.5 for a Zhejiang Professional FC win on Sunday seem too short for a side that are yet to win in Chinese Super League 2026 and are coming up against a team that have not lost. Chongqing have yet to win on the road, drawing their only away match and keeping a clean sheet away, so the game odds look unappealing. However, Zhejiang have been impressive at home and should be able to take control of the match and create more chances, so I am sticking with the home side as favorites, but I am expecting a closer game than the bookmakers are predicting.
A clash of styles
Ross Aloisi took over as Zhejiang Professional FC manager in January 2026 and has instilled a more progressive, attack-minded approach to the team. They play at a high tempo, pressing hard in all areas of the field and creating opportunities in wide areas.
Jianye Liu has built a well-structured, compact, defensive side which is disciplined and solid at the back. They like to absorb pressure and hit on the break. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this tactical clash. A key point to consider in our Zhejiang Professional FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long prediction is how these differing philosophies will influence the gameplay.
Attack vs defence
Zhejiang Professional FC will undoubtedly control the ball in this one, and it is the home side's attacking output that I expect to determine the result. However, this Zhejiang Professional FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long preview highlights that Chongqing are defensively solid and will not give much away, so a high scoring affair is not expected.
Over 2.5 goals are priced at 1.48 at the time of writing and seem a touch low, even for the Chinese Super League. However, Both Teams to Score - No at 2.25 is a bit more appealing as at least one of these sides will be kept at bay by their counterparts.
Player focus
The key players for the two sides are Alexandru Mitrita and George Cimpanu. The Romanian has collected 4 assists in 3 Chinese Super League 2026 games. Mitrita has provided 5 assists in his last 5 games for the club across all competitions, so he will be a clear focal point for the hosts on Sunday. According to the Zhejiang Professional FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long betting tips, Mitrita's creativity could be decisive on the day.
Cimpanu has been a revelation for Chongqing. He has netted 2 goals in 3 league games and has been a threat during their unbeaten run, so he will be a threat on Sunday.
Yudong Wang has scored 3 goals in 3 Chinese Super League 2026 for Zhejiang Professional FC and should be backed anytime when Chongqing visit on Sunday, which only strengthens the Zhejiang Professional FC vs Chongqing Tongliang Long prediction of a tight contest dominated by standout individual performances.
