Henan FC vs Chengdu Rongcheng FC Prediction: Can We Count On Both Sides To Get On The Scoreboard?

The long-awaited Chinese Super League has begun, and the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium will host the opening round match between Henan FC vs Chengdu Rongcheng FC.

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Henan FC vs Chengdu Rongcheng, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Henan FC

Henan FC was one of the sides that appeared to also be favorite candidates to finish in third place in the previous season alongside the likes of Shanghai Port FC and Shanghai Shenhua given that they had been occupying the place for quite a while, but the bar was set high in their case.

But when the fight came to them to defend their position against a resilient Shanghai Shenhua, they didn't have much fuel in them to face such a confrontation as it was a back and forth brawl that seemed to take eternity, which eventually saw them gradually slide down the standings following a series of unpleasant results and thus concluding the season in 6th place with 59 points.

In the CFA Cup competition, they managed to defeat Guangxi Baoyun FC 4:1 on the road in the second round, but their run came to an end in the third round against Shanghai Shenhua due to off-field matters that prevented them from participating, thus awarding their opponent automatic progression to the next round. 

Chengdu Rongcheng FC

Chengdu Rongcheng left nothing to be desired in their previous season in the CSL, as their performance was more than impressive for a side that had just been promoted after a 5-year absence.

Though they were aiming for the bigger prize of a third place finish, it was thwarted by a goal differential as they finished in second place with 65 points, level on points with Zhejiang Professional FC (3rd), Beijing (4th), and Shanghai Port FC (5th), and this time around ambitions will be high as they aim for the bigger prize of a first place finish this season. 

Their journey in the CFA Cup was a fruitful one, though they didn't get to get hold of the prestigious silverware, but their performance, which saw them record two consecutive wins against Hebei FC, and Meizhou Hakka before falling to a chastening 4:0 defeat in both legs of the quarter-finals against Shanghai Port FC, was nothing but an admirable run for a newly promoted side.
