Explore My Football Facts detailed preview for Henan Songshan Longmen vs Shenzhen Peng City in Super League. Stats, odds, predictions and line-ups for the 12:35 BST match.
Henan Songshan Longmen come into this with the strongest recent head-to-head record and a home game at Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium, giving them a clear platform to control the game. Their last five league games include a 4-0 home win, but also two 0-3 defeats, so the skipper suggests they can be effective up front but not always secure at the back.
Shenzhen Peng City have been competitive at times, with draws at home to Shanghai Port and a 1-0 home win over Liaoning Tieren FC in their last five league games. Still, they’ve lost three of those five and scored just once in three, which points to a team that can struggle to maintain pressure for long periods.

Henan Songshan Longmen
Henan Songshan Longmen’s recent form in the league has been mixed, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five. The most notable result is a 4-0 home win against Liaoning Tieren FC, but this has been offset by two 0-3 defeats, including the most recent loss to Chengdu Rongcheng.

Alignments and tactical configuration
Henan Songshan Longmen (4-2-3-1)
Expected lineup: Gouming Wang (Goalkeeper), Huang Ruifeng (Defender), Iago Maidana (Defender), Lucas Maia (Defender), Yixin Liu (Defender), Abdurasul Abudulam (Midfielder), Ablahan Haliq (Midfielder), Bruno Nazário (Midfielder), Shangyuan Wang (Midfielder), Gustavo YAttao Zhong (Midfielder), Gustavo Yidhattao (Midfielder)
The 4-2-3-1 envisioned by Henan Songshan Longmen gives them a solid foundation in midfield, with the two deepest players helping them stay compact and recycle possession. This shape should also allow Gustavo to stand tall and give them a clear focal point when moving forward.
Shenzhen City Peng (4-1-4-1)
Expected lineup: Peng Peng (Goalkeeper), Huanming Shen (Defender), Ruibao Hu (Defender), Yiming Yang (Defender), Zhijian Xuan (Defender), Dai Wei Jun (Midfielder), Junsheng Yao (Midfielder), Tim Chow (Midfielder), Xiaobin Zhang (Midfielder), Jiang Wetta (Midfielder), Jiang Mi Zhipeng (Midfielder)
Shenzhen Peng City’s predicted 4-1-4-1 should keep them organized through the middle, with the midfielder controlling the defense and helping them stay connected. It also leaves Wesley Moraes as the main outlet, so their attacking threat is likely to depend on how well they can support him from midfield.
