Prediction Qingdao Hainiu vs Chengdu Rongcheng season 2025 – Betting Tips for the FA Cup on 23/07/2025

As the excitement of the FA Cup reaches new heights, we look ahead to the highly anticipated quarter-final match between Qingdao Hainiu and Chengdu Rongcheng. This clash promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams look to secure their place in the semi-finals.

Current Form and Recent Matches

Qingdao Hainiu comes into this match after a disappointing series that has left them in a challenging position. Their recent performances tell a tough story, suffering a significant defeat to Shenzhen Peng City (4-0) just two days ago. Before that, they faced Qingdao West Coast and Zhejiang, both of which resulted in losses. However, they did manage to claim a victory against Guangxi Hengchen on June 21, which marked a brief respite in an otherwise challenging stretch. Their overall form indicates struggles in defense, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their last five matches.

On the other side, Chengdu Rongcheng has had a stronger run of late, particularly highlighted by a commanding 5-0 victory over Shenzhen Peng City in late June. However, they, too, faced a loss recently, falling 2-1 to Tianjin Jinmen Tiger just a few days prior to this match. Chengdu has shown resilience in their gameplay, managing to score decisively in a couple of outings while also drawing with Wuhan Three Towns, showcasing a blend of attacking flair and tactical resilience.

Head-to-Head Showdown

When looking at their head-to-head encounters, the previous clash on April 12, ended with Chengdu Rongcheng sealing a narrow 1-0 victory over Qingdao Hainiu. This result, along with the current upward trend in performance from Chengdu, adds to the anticipation for this upcoming match.

Betting Outlook

Given the overall form and situational context of this contest, the statistics point towards a tight match. Qingdao has, surprisingly, shown an ability to find the back of the net sparingly at home, while Chengdu has put on a commanding offensive display during their recent fixtures, averaging over two goals per game in their last five outings.

In light of this, a suggestion for betting enthusiasts would be to back Chengdu Rongcheng to win (1x2 market) as they carry a slight advantage in terms of current form and scoring capabilities, matched with Qingdao Hainiu's recent struggles. Moreover, if looking at goal markets, considering “Over 2.5 Goals” could also be appealing given Chengdu’s attacking prowess, coupled with Qingdao's defensive issues. The blend of tactical aggression from Chengdu and a desperate Qingdao side could very well lead to an entertaining match filled with goals.
