Current form
In the Chinese Cup, Chengdu had some problems at the 1/16 stage, taking the matter to a penalty shootout in a match with little-known team Shanghai Changning, and in the 1/8 finals, the club beat the worst team in the Super League, Nantong Zhiyun (2:0).
In the current season of the Chinese Super League, Chengdu is in third place in the standings, having scored 51 points after 24 matches.
