Henan Songshan Longmen - Qingdao West Coast: betting tip for the Chinese Championship match

Current form

Henan Songshan Longmen finished eighth in the Chinese Super League last season, completing the top half of the table. The hosts plan to perform at least as well in the current championship draw, but the beginning of 2025 turned out to be depressing for Nam Tae Ki-Il's team. In the first round, we managed to hold a goalless draw with Shandong Taishan (0-0), helped by the removal of the opponent in the middle of the first half. The following matches were much worse for the Zhengzhou team. The club lost first to Meizhou Hakka (1:2), and then to Shanghai Shenhua (1:3). In the last match, the hosts took the lead in the first half, but conceded three unanswered goals in the second half. 

Disqualifications and injuries

Jin Hongbo will not play due to injury. 

Interesting betting trends

• The team hasn't won seven matches in a row.
• In two of the last six matches, the hosts were eliminated.

For Qingdao West Coast, last season was their debut in the Chinese Super League and they managed to do quite well - tenth place at the finish of the championship.
