Bitesize Prediction: Shandong Taishan vs Chengdu Rongcheng – 02/04/25

Competition: Chinese Super League

Market: Shandong Taishan draw no bet

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their sensational start to proceedings, Shandong Taishan will welcome Chengdu Rongcheng to Jinan on Wednesday lunchtime.

Starting with the hosts, putting in what was another action-packed performance over the weekend as they eventually secured a remarkable 4-3 victory away at Meizhou Hakka, Shandong Taishan have come flying out of the traps since opening up the 2025 campaign. Putting seven points on the board from their first three Super League appearances, the Jinan-based outfit open Wednesday’s fixtures leading the chase at the top of the table. With their dominant start to proceedings underlined by a 4-1 romp against Dalian Yingbo on February 28th, Choi Kang-hee will be calling on his squad to lay down another title marker here. Getting the New Year underway with a 3-1 victory against Korean outfit Gwangju while in AFC Champions League action, Shandong have gained a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Notching 11 goals in their previous four outings, Wednesday’s hosts will be relishing a return to Jinan.

As for the visitors, although Chengdu Rongcheng might have opened the 2025 campaign with a 1-0 victory at home against Wuhan Three Towns, the Reds failed to find any real stability on either side of March’s international break. Heading into the fortnight interval with a 2-1 defeat against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, Seo Jung-won’s men have collected just a single victory from any of their first three Super League appearances. Likewise, signing off last season with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Shanghai Shenhua, Wednesday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous 11 showdowns against top-flight opposition continuing on from last year. Facing what should be another tricky test in midweek, Chengdu should also be concerned by a downbeat record against the early Super League leaders. Including a 1-0 loss when they travelled to Jinan for an FA Cup semi-final showdown in September, they have lost each of their previous three meetings by an aggregate score of 5-0.
