Over/Under 2.5 Probability
Shandong Taishan come into this with three wins from their last five league matches, including a 4-1 home win over Shanghai Shenhua, so they have shown they can score freely when settled. Chongqing Tonglianglong FC have been harder to beat than to beat others, with four of their last five league games ending level or in a narrow defeat, which points to a competitive contest.
The home side’s recent results suggest they can create enough to edge a tight game, especially with Cryzan and Valeri Qazaishvili in the attack. Chongqing Tonglianglong FC have also shown they can pick up results away from home, but their run has been built more on draws than control.

Form Guide & Team Overview
Shandong Taishan

The away draw at Shanghai Shenhua and the away win at Shanghai Port show they can compete against stronger opposition. However, the repeated draws also point to a team that has been competitive without always finding the decisive moment.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Shandong Taishan (4-3-3)
Predicted lineup: Dalei Wang (Goalkeeper), Pedro Álvaro (Defender), Wenneng Xie (Defender), Yang Liu (Defender), Zhunyi Gao (Defender), Yuanyi Li (Midfielder), Zeshi Chen (Midfielder), Zhengyu Huang (Midfielder), Cryzan (Attacker), Valeri Qazaishvili (Attacker), Zeca (Attacker)
Shandong Taishan’s predicted 4-3-3 should give them a solid base in midfield while still keeping three attackers high enough to stretch Chongqing Tonglianglong FC’s back line. With Cryzan, Valeri Qazaishvili and Zeca in the front line, they have a shape that can create width and direct pressure in the final third.
Chongqing Tonglianglong FC (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Yao Haoyang (Goalkeeper), Lucão (Defender), Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui (Defender), Pengxiang Jin (Defender), Chen Chunxin (Midfielder), Mingshi Liu (Midfielder), Zhang Yingkai (Midfielder), Zhixiong Zhang (Midfielder), Alexandru Cîmpanu (Attacker), Landry Dimata (Attacker), Yongqiang Wu (Attacker)
Chongqing Tonglianglong FC’s predicted 3-4-2-1 gives them a compact defensive structure with numbers in midfield to slow Shandong Taishan’s build-up. Alexandru Cîmpanu and Landry Dimata can then support the lone striker from advanced areas, which should help them break quickly when they win the ball.
