Prediction Stats

Both Teams To Score Probability
Over/Under 2.5 Probability
Liaoning Tieren FC come into this with only one winless run to lean on, but the 2-2 draw away to Wuhan Three Towns at least showed they can stay in games and score. Their recent league sequence has still been poor overall, with four defeats in five before that draw, so they will need to be much tighter at the back to compete here.
Qingdao Hainiu arrive with far stronger recent numbers, having won four of their last five in all competitions before the 2-4 loss to Beijing Guoan. They have also been scoring freely, with three goals in each of their three wins before that defeat, which gives them a clear attacking edge on recent evidence. Match Prediction: Liaoning Tieren FC 2-1 Qingdao Hainiu
Form Guide & Team Overview
Liaoning Tieren FC
Liaoning Tieren FC’s recent league form has been difficult, with four defeats and one draw across their last five matches. They have lost at home to Yunnan Yukun and Chengdu Rongcheng, and also suffered away defeats to Henan Songshan Longmen and Shenzhen Peng City, which points to a side struggling for consistency at both ends.
The 2-2 draw away to Wuhan Three Towns is the one positive in that run, as it shows they can still find a way to score and take something from a tougher away fixture. Even so, the overall pattern is one of limited returns and narrow margins, with three of those five matches decided by a single goal.

Qingdao Hainiu
Qingdao Hainiu’s recent league form is much stronger, with four wins from their last five matches. They beat Dalian Yingbo 3-1, Wuhan Three Towns 3-1 and Shanghai Port 3-1, and also recorded a 4-1 home win over Shandong Taishan, which underlines a productive attacking spell.
Their only setback in that sequence was the 2-4 defeat away to Beijing Guoan, so they have still shown some vulnerability when pushed. Even so, the scoring record in those wins is a clear positive and gives them a more convincing recent profile than their hosts.

Team News & Injury Report
Liaoning Tieren FC
- Peng Li (Broken Tibia)
Qingdao Hainiu
- No injuries have been reported for the current season.
Lineups & Tactical Setup
Liaoning Tieren FC (4-1-4-1)
Predicted lineup: Yan Zhang (Goalkeeper), De'ao Tian (Defender), Pang Shenghan (Defender), Pavle Vagic (Defender), Yuan Mincheng (Defender), Ange Samuel (Midfielder), Binbin Chen (Midfielder), Felipe (Midfielder), Takahiro Kunimoto (Midfielder), Yan Dinghao (Midfielder), Guy Mbenza (Attacker)
Liaoning Tieren FC’s predicted 4-1-4-1 should give them a compact base, with one holding midfielder helping protect the back four and allowing the wider midfielders to support transitions. That shape also leaves Guy Mbenza as the main reference point up front, so their attacking threat is likely to depend on how well the midfield can feed him.
Qingdao Hainiu (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Pengfei Mou (Goalkeeper), Hailong Li (Defender), Liu Junshuai (Defender), Long Song (Defender), Nemanja Andjelkovic (Defender), Ahmed El Messaoudi (Midfielder), Cheuk Pan Ngan (Midfielder), Jin Yonghao (Midfielder), Sun Zheng'ao (Midfielder), Carlos Strandberg (Attacker), Chuangyi Lin (Attacker)
Qingdao Hainiu’s predicted 4-4-2 gives them two forwards to work off each other and should keep them direct in the final third. With Ahmed El Messaoudi and the wide midfielders behind them, the shape offers a balanced platform to support Carlos Strandberg and Chuangyi Lin.
