Chengdu vs Dalian Zhixing Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 24 October 2026
🔊 Chengdu are one point away from the Chinese title but have been unable to clinch it since the start of September. After matchday 25 their lead over second place was 14 points; it is now down to six. Dalian Yingbo, their closest challengers, are the visitors on Saturday - a win for the away side would leave just three points between the two teams going into the final round. And if they finish level on points, Dalian would rank higher: they already beat Chengdu 2-0 back in May. Will the leaders finally seal the title at the fourth attempt?
Head-to-Head
Dalian Yingbo beat Chengdu 2-0 in their most recent Super League meeting, despite having just 37% possession. The hosts had 12 shots to the visitors' five, with Chengdu failing to register a single shot on target.
In their three head-to-head encounters, Chengdu have claimed two wins while Dalian Yifang have taken one. In each of those matches, only one team managed to find the net, with the aggregate score standing at 4-2 in Chengdu’s favour.
Head-to-head statistics Chengdu - Dalian Zhixing
Chengdu Rongcheng Team Overview
Chengdu suffered a 0-3 defeat away to Shanghai Port in their most recent Super League fixture. After a goalless first half, the hosts found the net three times. Shanghai Port also dominated the shot count, outshooting Chengdu 17 to 7.
Chengdu have had a season of two very different halves. In their first 12 rounds, John Aloisi's side won 11 and drew one. But from the following 16 league matches, they have taken three points in just four of them. The last three rounds have been the worst of all - each one an opportunity to clinch the title. First came a goalless draw with Henan Jianye, then Tianjin Jinmen Tiger took all three points at Chengdu's ground with a goal in stoppage time.
Away at Shanghai Port, the leaders held on until half-time before conceding three times in the second half and losing 0-3. Their attack has gone quiet: Chengdu have not scored once across those three rounds. Forward Wei Shihao will not be able to help from here either - he has been handed a three-match ban for a provocative gesture towards Henan supporters, and his season is over.

Dalian Yingbo FC Team Overview
In the last round, Dalian Yingbo beat Shenzhen Peng City 3-1 at home. Despite having less possession - 44% - Dalian Yingbo had 24 shots to their opponents' 13 and put 11 of them on target, compared to just one from Shenzhen.
Dalian Inbo are only in their second season in the Super League, yet they're already challenging for the title. Li Guoxu's side have closed the gap at the top over the last three matchdays, picking up nine points from nine and conceding just twice. Their most emphatic result came away at Qingdao West Coast on October 11: the hosts had gone 15 straight Super League home games unbeaten, but Dalian thrashed them 4-0. Six days later, the same attacking unit proved too much for Shenzhen Peng City. Romanian midfielder Nicolae Stanciu opened the scoring in the eighth minute, and Dalian netted a third after pouncing on a rebound from his shot.

Safer Bet
Dalian Yifang have scored three or more goals just once in their last nine league matches. Over their past ten games, they've found the net 16 times. We don’t expect Dalian Yifang to hit a third goal here. Our pick: Dalian Yifang under 2.5 team goals.
Correct Score Prediction
The most likely correct scorelines are 1-1 (10.13%), 2-1 (9.22%), and 1-0 (7.36%). The 1-1 draw carries the highest probability, but the margins between these outcomes are relatively small.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Dalian Inbo have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight Super League fixtures, with their only loss coming away to Yunnan in August. The visitors have found the net in 16 consecutive matches-and in each of their last eight on the road. Chengdu’s backline is unlikely to hold firm against such a potent attack, especially given they’ve conceded in 13 of their previous 14 outings. Expect Dalian to come away with all three points and keep the title race alive until the final round. The pick: Dalian Inbo double chance (win or draw).
Will this prediction come true?
