Chongqing vs Qingdao Zhongchuang Hengtai Prediction 21 July 2026
🏆 This Round of 16 match in the China FA Cup brings together Chongqing Tonglianglong and Qingdao West Coast - two sides at very different points this season. The hosts have been inconsistent, while the visitors arrive in considerably better shape. That gap between Qingdao's solidity and Chongqing's more cautious style makes the totals angle worth looking at here.

Head-to-head statistics Chongqing - Qingdao Zhongchuang Hengtai

Chongqing Tonglianglong Team Overview
Chongqing Tonglianglong's last official match was in the Super League - a 1-1 draw with Zhejiang. Here's how the stats looked (Chongqing Tonglianglong vs Zhejiang):
- possession: 62% vs 38%;
- corners: 4 vs 1;
- fouls: 8 vs 15;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 2;
- shots on target: 3 vs 2.
Chongqing Tonglianglong's form has been inconsistent. Three wins from their last ten matches, with average goals scored and conceded sitting close to level - 1.2 and 1.3 respectively. The home trend points toward low-scoring games: no more than two goals in 6 of their last 7 home matches.
That suggests a cautious approach at home - not much interest in open, end-to-end football. The most recent example came last round: an away match, but still a tight, low-scoring win over Shanghai Jiading (2-0).

Qingdao Zhongchuang Hengtai Team Overview
Qingdao West Coast's last official match was played in the Chinese Super League, where they held Chengdu to a 1-1 draw at home. Here are the stats from that game (Qingdao West Coast vs Chengdu):
- possession: 33% vs 67%;
- corners: 1 vs 4;
- fouls: 19 vs 18;
- yellow cards: 4 vs 2;
- shots on target: 3 vs 2.
Qingdao West Coast stand out for their consistency and scoring output over a long run of games. In their last 10 matches, they've won five, lost just once and drawn four - a record that shows a decent balance between attack and defence. They average 1.7 goals scored per game, which backs up the idea that they're an active side going forward.
The defensive side is less convincing, though. They concede 1.5 goals per game on average, and the trend points to a team that regularly plays in open, end-to-end matches - both sides scored in 12 of their last 13 games. That holds even away from home. They got through the previous round outside of normal time, beating Shaanxi Xiandu 1-1 on penalties, 5-4.

⭐️ Editor's Prediction
This Round of 16 tie is probably the most evenly matched of the lot. The bookmakers don't lean heavily either way, and the visitors' recent form isn't much of a guide here. So let's look at the totals market: total goals under 2.5. That line has landed in 6 of Chongqing Tonglianglong's last 7 home matches. A draw at full time wouldn't surprise, something like 1-1, with plenty of scrapping in between.
