Competition: Chinese Super League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ Pribet

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Wednesday lunchtime, Qingdao Hainiu will travel to a struggling Liaoning Tieren.

Starting with the hosts, while Liaoning Tiernan might have only made their historic Super League return this season, the Reds are almost universally regarded as a standout relegation contender this time around. Despite being last seen collecting a thrilling 2-2 stalemate away at Wuhan Three Towns last time out, that is the only point that Seo Jung-won’s side have collected from any of their previous seven consecutive top-flight appearances. With that rut stemming all the way back to a 1-1 draw against Qingdao West Coast back on April 11th, the Super League newcomers have also put just eight points on the board since opening up the 2026 campaign. Likewise, getting May underway with a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Henan Songshan, Liaoning open the midweek fixtures holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. It should also be highlighted, gaining a reputation for their extended defensive struggles, Wednesday’s hosts have already shipped 20 Super League strikes and they look set for what could be another tricky test here.

As for the visitors, watching their extended flurry come to an abrupt end last time out as they eventually fell to an action-packed 4-2 defeat away at Beijing Guoan, Qingdao will be searching for an immediate Super League response here. Nevertheless, skyrocketing their way out of the relegation zone, the Sea Bulls will take plenty of positives away from an eye-catching run over the past month. Getting May underway with a sensational 3-1 victory against reigning Chinese champions Shanghai Port, Wednesday’s guests have won each of their other four Super League appearances and the mood in their camp should remain at a real high. Signing off April with a routine 4-1 romp at home against Shangdong Taishan, Milan Ristic’s side have also impressed with their clinical performances in the final third. Including another 3-1 victory away at Wuhan Three Towns earlier in the month, the former Meizhou Hakka boss has seen his squad notch at least a pair of strikes in all of their previous five consecutive top-flight showdowns.
