Explore My Football Facts detailed preview for Chengdu Rongcheng vs Henan Songshan Longmen in Super League. Stats, odds, predictions and line-ups for the 1pm BST match.
Chengdu Rongcheng come into this with five consecutive league wins, and recent results suggest they are managing both tight and more open games. They have kept three clean sheets in this run, while also scoring four against Zhejiang and three away to Shanghai Shenhua, so there is a good mix of control and threat. Henan Songshan Longmen have been less consistent, with two draws and two defeats in their last five league games, although a 4-0 win over Liaoning Tieren FC shows they can still get a result.
The head-to-head record is a reminder that Henan have caused Chengdu problems before, including a 3-2 win in June 2025 and a 2-0 win in September 2024. However, Chengdu’s current form is stronger and their recent defensive record looks more reliable. If Henan can keep Gustavo involved and make the most of the transitions, they have a route to the game, but Chengdu appear to be more solid with the evidence provided.
Forms guide and team overview
Chengdu Rongcheng
Chengdu Rongcheng arrive in excellent league form, winning their most recent five matches. The streak includes a 1-0 home win against Liaoning Tieren FC, a 3-2 away win at Shanghai Shenhua, a 4-0 home win against Zhejiang, a 2-1 home win against Yunnan Yukun and another 1-0 home win at Wuhan Three Towns.
This run shows that they don’t depend on one type of performance to get results. They have been able to narrowly win when needed, but also produce a more convincing scoreline at home, which makes them look well balanced in this game.

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. They drew 1-1 at home to Chongqing Tonglianglong FC, beat Liaoning Tieren FC 4-0 at home, lost 0-3 at home to Shanghai Shenhua, drew 0-0 at West Coast Qingdao and lost 1-2 at home to Dalian Yingbo.
The 4-0 win stands out, but the other results point to a team that hasn’t been consistently strong enough. They have also failed to score in two of those five games, which is a concern against a Chengdu team that has been winning regularly.

Alignments and tactical configuration
Chengdu Rongcheng (4-4-2)
Expected lineup: Liu Dianzuo (Goalkeeper), Egor Sorokin (Defender), Hetao Hu (Defender), Li Yang (Defender), Wang Dongsheng (Defender), Lisheng Liao (Midfielder), Wei Shihao (Midfielder), Wellington Silva (Midfielder), Yang Mingyang (Midfielder), Felipe (Forward), Rômulo)
Chengdu Rongcheng’s predicted 4-4-2 gives them a direct shape with two forwards to occupy Henan’s central midfielders and give them a direct outlet. The midfield four should help them stay compact without the ball, while also supporting Felipe and Rômulo when he gets forward.
Henan Songshan Longmen (4-2-3-1)
Expected lineup: Gouming Wang (Goalkeeper), Iago Maidana (Defender), Lucas Maia (Defender), Yeljan Shinar (Defender), Yixin Liu (Defender), Abdurasul Abudulam (Midfielder), Ablahan Haliq (Midfielder), Bruno Nazário (Midfielder), Shangyuan Wang (Midfielder), Gustavo (Midfielder), Gustavo Abudulam (Midfielder), Yidhattao Zhong
The 4-2-3-1 predicted for Henan Songshan Longmen should give them a solid foundation with two midfielders controlling the defense and helping them stay organised. With Gustavo up top and three players behind him, they can look to connect quickly through the middle and use the wide support around him.
