Bitesize Prediction: Chengdu Rongcheng vs Beijing Guoan – 26/07/25

Competition: Chinese Super League

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 2/3 @ BetUS

Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out at the top of the Super League table, Chengdu Rongcheng will welcome Beijing to Sichuan on Saturday lunchtime.

Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they extended on their FA Cup adventure thanks to a 2-1 victory away at Qingdao Hainiu, Chengdu have enjoyed another stellar run of form since opening up the 2025 campaign. Clinching a bronze medal finish among China’s elite last season, the Reds have their sights firmly set on punching another lucrative AFC Champions League ticket this year. Storming their way to a stellar 5-0 romp against Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, Seo Jung-won’s side have lost just a pair of their previous 18 appearances across all competitions – a purple patch that stems all the way back to March 2nd. However, despite continuing to receive a string of plaudits, Saturday’s hosts will know the importance of finding some much-welcomed defensive resolve. It should be highlighted, Chengdu have seen five of their previous six outings finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, extending on their own respective FA Cup charge last weekend as they edged past Qingdao West Coast thanks to a nail-bitting penalties victory, Beijing are enjoying what has become a real flurry. Signing off June 7th a thumping 4-0 win away at Meizhou Hakka, Quique Setien’s camp are sat in the driving seat to book an AFC Champions League return this season. In fact, despite falling to a 3-1 loss at home against Shanghai Shenhua earlier in the month, the Imperial Guard have won all of their other seven appearances across all competitions. Likewise, despite mustering just a single clean sheet from their previous five outings, the one-time Barcelona boss has seen his squad gain a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. It should be noted, the Greens have registered 12 goals in their last four straight showdowns away from the Workers Stadium.
