Tianjin Teda: Form and Statistics

Form: WLWWL

Tianjin Teda are aiming for a second straight sixth-place finish in the Chinese Super League. In the current campaign, they are in sixth place with 25 points and are level on points with fifth-placed Shandong Taishan. Three points separate them from seventh-placed Yunnan Yukun.

The Tigers have bounced back after enduring a turbulent period. They had suffered two defeats across all competitions, a run that also saw the end of their journey in the Chinese FA Cup. In their most recent match, they beat Meizhou Hakka 2-1 on the road.

Their home form has been a rollercoaster. They have won two and lost two of their last four matches at the TEDA Football Stadium. However, their last match at this venue ended in a 1-0 victory against Shandong Taishan.

Tianjin Teda: Team News

Tianjin Teda will continue to be without Jingqi Fang, who is sidelined with injury. Joining him in the injury room is Yan Shi. Shi has not been active for the club since suffering a knock against Qingdao West Coast on April 6.

Head coach Genwei Yu will name an unchanged lineup that won against Meizhou Hakka. This means we could see Alberto Quiles and Albion Ademi lead the attack in a 4-4-2 formation. Xianjun Wang was impressive at the heart of the defense, and his presence will be important in keeping things tight at the back.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-4-2): Yan; Ba, Ros, Wang, Xie; Xadas, Salvador Gonzalez, Wang, Sun; Ademi, Quiles.

⛔️ Out: Jingqi Fang (injured), Yan Shi (injured).

👤 Head coach: Genwei Yu.

Chengdu Rongcheng FC: Form and Statistics

Form: DWLDW

Chengdu Rongcheng, on the other hand, is in third place in the league standings. They are one of the contenders for the title this season and are four points adrift of table-toppers Beijing Guoan FC.

Rongcheng failed to live up to their billing as favorites last time out against Wuhan Three Towns. They had to equalize twice to salvage a point in a nail-biting 2-2 draw.

Despite that result, they still maintain an impressive record in the league. So far, they have lost just one of their last 14 matches. This run includes wins over Shanghai Port FC and Shanghai Shenhua, indicating they won't have trouble seeing off the threat of Tianjin Teda in this upcoming encounter.

Chengdu Rongcheng FC: Team News

Head coach Jung-Won Seo is very much aware that Yang Li is one card away from suspension. However, the 27-year-old defender will be in the starting lineup this Friday.

Chengdu Rongcheng was unfortunate not to have won against Wuhan Three Towns. It's uncertain which formation head coach Jung-Won Seo will opt for here, as he has been juggling around with different formations trying to find the right fit. Dinghao Yan is expected to get the nod over Ming-Yang Yang after failing to make the starting lineup last time out.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-4-2): Liu; Letschert, Han, Li, Gurfinkel; Chow, Romulo, Gan, Yan; Felipe Silva, Wei.

⛔️ Out: None.

👤 Head coach: Jung-Won Seo.

Tianjin Teda vs Chengdu Rongcheng FC match prediction 18 July 2025

Clashes between Tianjin Teda and Chengdu Rongcheng FC have been nothing short of a blockbuster. Goals are likely to flow when these two sides meet, considering they've seen a combined 15 goals scored in their last four outings. Tianjin Teda are underdogs in this match, but they must not be underestimated after beating Shandong Taishan in front of their home crowd.

Chengdu Rongcheng was once on a five-match winning streak on the road before their two-match winless run. I have reason to believe they can pick up all three points; it won't be easy, but it's possible. However, for this particular clash, I am expecting a goal-laden affair. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last four meetings with Tianjin Teda. This is a pattern I expect to see this Friday.
