Shandong Taishan vs Henan Jianye Prediction 26 July 2026
🔊 On July 26, Shandong Taishan take on Henan at the Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Jinan. The hosts are still pushing for a top-half finish, but mistakes have been creeping into their game lately. Henan arrive after a busy week and will look to capitalise on those errors to move up the table.
Head-to-Head
The last official match between these two sides took place on 11 April 2026 and ended 0-1. Here's the key stats from that game (Henan Jianye were the home side):
- possession: 59% vs 41%;
- corners: 4 vs 3;
- fouls: 10 vs 19;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 1;

Shandong Taishan sit sixth with 24 points from 19 games. Recent form has been inconsistent - a 4-3 home win over Yunnan Yukun, then a 1-3 defeat to Dalian Yingbo. They did make it through to the Chinese Cup quarter-finals, but it took a penalty shootout to get past Wuhan Three Towns.
Off the pitch, the club made headlines in July for something other than results. Shandong Taishan filed a case with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against former midfielder Song Zhun Ho, seeking compensation for reputational damage following a match-fixing scandal that earned the player a lifetime ban from football in China. Up front, Valeri Kazaishvili remains the main threat - he got on the scoresheet in the first round.

Henan sit 12th with 18 points and seven wins. In their last league match they put five past Qingdao Hainiu - a comfortable 5-1 - but a few days later they were knocked out of the Chinese Cup. In the Round of 16, Henan lost to Dalian Yingbo on penalties and their trophy hopes ended there.
After the cup exit, the coaching staff said the full focus now shifts to the league. That matters more than usual given the points deduction the club is carrying - it's what's keeping them in the bottom half of the table. Getting that right in the Super League is the priority now.

Shandong Taishan go into this one as favourites - stronger squad, home advantage. That said, the hosts have been leaking goals regularly, so a comfortable win isn't guaranteed. There's another factor worth throwing in: Shandong Taishan haven't lost to Henan at home in 18 straight meetings. Given that record, a Shandong Taishan win looks like the most interesting bet here.
