Today’s Predictions for Nantong Zhiyun vs Qingdao Hainiu
Nantong Zhiyun have won only one of their first ten Super League fixtures of the campaign ahead of their meeting with Qingdao Hainiu on Sunday. Read our top Nantong Zhiyun vs Qingdao Hainiu predictions for this weekend’s fixture.
Nantong Zhiyun Double Chance
Nantong Zhiyun and Qingdao Hainiu were promoted together from the second tier to the Super League in between seasons, though both teams have struggled with the step up in quality so far. Qingdao have collected just one point from 15 on offer on the road so far and their travel sickness could hold them back again on Sunday. The teams drew twice in as many meetings in the second division last term and with favourable odds to lean on, a stake on the hosts in the double chance market looks like a good way to kick off our Nantong Zhiyun vs Qingdao Hainiu predictions.
Under 2.5 Goals
Nantong Zhiyun and Qingdao Hainiu looked well-matched each time they met in China’s League One last term and both of their skirmishes finished level last season. Margins in each tie were wafer thin with the teams drawing 0-0 and then 1-1 in the return fixtures, and their first Super League rendezvous on Sunday could be similarly low on excitement. Seven of Nantong’s last nine matches in the league have produced under 2.5 goals and we’re tipping that pattern to continue on Sunday.

Nantong Zhiyun vs Qingdao Hainiu Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Nantong Zhiyun vs Qingdao Hainiu lineups and team news for Sunday’s Super League match-up below.
Nantong Zhiyun
Xu Junmin is out injured for Nantong this week while there are also doubts about the availability of Camara and Li Ngai-Hoi. Zhiyun were beaten 1-0 by Chengdu Rongcheng last time out and Head Coach David Patricio will want to see better performance levels from a number of his players on Sunday.
Predicted Lineup for Nantong Zhiyun: Shi Xiaodong – Yeljan Shinar, Liu Wei, Bressan, Liu Huan – Yanh Mingyang, Cao Kang, Lucas Morelatto, Wang Song, Romario Balde – Castillo
Qingdao Hainiu
Quingdao Hainiu limped to a 1-0 loss at home to Shandong TaiShan in their last Super League test, but despite a poor run of results, manager Antonio Gomez is unlikely to shift far from his preferred 3-5-2 formation on Sunday. Quingdao can move into midtable with the right results this weekend.
Predicted Lineup for Qingdao Hainiu: Mu Pengfei – Liu Jiashen, Andrejevic, Liu Junshuai – Zhang Wei, Chen Chunxin, Long Wei, Saric, Xu Dong – Kangwa, Tabekou
Player to Watch – Roman Castillo
Honduran striker Roman Castillo is a new face in this season’s Super League and the Nantong attacker has already scored three times in his fresh surroundings in China. Castillo has spent most of his career in his native Honduras where he was a two-time title winner.
Castillo has been bouncing around between clubs in recent years, though the 31-year-old’s physical attributes should make him a hit in China. Castillo has played 30 times for his country, scoring six goals.
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
