Preview: Chengdu Qianbao vs. Henan Songshan Longmen - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Chinese Super League clash between Chengdu Qianbao and Henan Songshan Longmen, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Looking to secure three wins on the bounce, Chengdu Qianbao welcome Henan Songshan Longmen to the Shuangliu Sports Center on Sunday afternoon.

The away side, meanwhile, will be aiming to avoid a third consecutive defeat and return to winning ways with all three points this weekend.


Match preview

Henan Songshan Longmen were beaten on home turf for the second game running following a 2-1 defeat against Shanghai Port at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium on Tuesday.

Javier Pereira's men found themselves two goals at the interval thanks to strikes from Tyias Browning and Huikang Cai before pulling one back in the second half through Tomas Pina.

Consequently, the Red devils have dropped down to fifth place in the standings and now sit a whopping 17 points adrift of league leaders Wuhan Three Towns.

Next up is a first-ever encounter against an opposing outfit featuring in its debut top-flight campaign since inception back in March 2018.

Ahead of a tantalising clash against Shanghai Shenhua nine days later, Sunday's hosts go in search of a morale-boosting victory to help get their season back on track.

Chengdu Qianbao got the better of Changchun Yatai courtesy of a 1-0 victory when the teams faced off at the Development Area Stadium on September 1.

Despite playing the final 20 minutes of the game a man down, Seo Jung-won's men held on to their narrow advantage which was provided by Romulo's first-half opener.

With 21 points picked up from the last 24 available, the Sichuan-based club are eighth in the league table, albeit just six points behind third-place Shanghai Shenhua having played a game less.

Off the back of a first home win since the turn of the year in their last home outing, Sunday's hosts will be keen to pick up where they left off in front of their fans.

Team News

Having been named as an unused substitute against Changchun Yatai, Guanghui Han will be targeting a return to action as he steps up his recovery from a forearm fracture.

Midfielder Tim Chow received his marching orders for two bookable offences in the aforementioned game and is not eligible to play any part here.

With goals in each of his last two appearances, 26-year-old Romulo will be looking to deliver the goods for the home side once again.

Henrique Dourado was given a one-year suspension for assaulting a match official back in June, making him a guaranteed absentee for Henan.

After coming off with a first-half injury versus Shanghai Port, Yuhao Zhao's involvement this weekend currently hangs in the balance.

Chengdu Qianbao possible starting lineup:
Geng; Hu, Windbichler, Liu; Tang, Kim, Gan, Iminqari; Romulo, Saldanha, Guichao

Henan Songshan Longmen possible starting lineup:
Wang; Feng, Sunjic, Yang, Niu; Pina, Zhao, Wang; Huang, Zhong, Mierzejewski


SM words green background

We say: Chengdu Qianbao 1-1 Henan Songshan Longmen

Chengdu have often struggled to score on their own turf this term, while Henan have been poor at the attacking end away from home. We are anticipating a cagey and nervy affair with the sides settling for a point apiece in the end.
