Chongqing Tongliang Long vs Qingdao Youth Island Prediction - 26th April 2026

Chongqing Tongliang Long host Qingdao Youth Island in a Super League fixture that heavily favors the home side. Sitting second in the table with 17 points from seven matches, Chongqing have been remarkably consistent, going unbeaten in their last ten games (six wins, four draws). Their home record is particularly strong, boasting a 50% win rate, averaging 1.33 goals scored and conceding just 0.67 per match. Defensively, they have kept a clean sheet in 70% of their last ten fixtures. At home, they dominate possession at 59.5% and average 12.00 shots per game with 5.00 on target, showcasing their control of the midfield and attacking threat. Qingdao Youth Island, conversely, are struggling on the road. Currently ninth in the standings with six points, they have failed to secure a single away victory in their last five road matches. Their away defensive record is concerning, conceding an average of 2.40 goals per game while managing just 0.40 goals scored. Their shot accuracy away hovers around 20.7%, and their recent trend shows a clear decline in goals scored. With a 3-game moving average of just 0.33 goals, Qingdao's attack lacks the penetration to trouble Chongqing's defense. Their last five away results include heavy defeats, such as losing 5-1 to Chengdu and 4-1 to Shanghai SIPG, highlighting their vulnerability on the road. The goal expectancy model points to a decisive home advantage, projecting 1.87 expected goals for Chongqing against 0.53 for Qingdao. This aligns perfectly with the statistical split: Chongqing's home attack is firing, while Qingdao's away offense is sputtering. The market prices the home win at 1.91, which offers solid value given the stark contrast in form and venue performance. Chongqing's unbeaten run, combined with Qingdao's winless away streak and leaky defense, creates a high-probability scenario for a home victory.
