When they host a tenacious Dalian Pro on matchday 34 of the Super League at the Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Sports Park, Chengdu Rongcheng will be aiming for a third-place finish.

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

Form: WWDDW

In contrast to their first meeting of the season with Wuhan Zall in October, which they won 1:0 thanks to a goal from Windbichler in the 63rd minute, they recently defeated their opponent 3:1 at home, ensuring the worst-case scenario of relegation for them.

Prior to that, they saw off the threat of Wuhan Zall by recording a 3:1 victory at home with Felipe scoring a brace in the second half to gift his side with three points.

Seo Jung-won's men have been on an impressive run that has seen them with a 13-match unbeaten run tag on their backs in which 31 points have been amassed, and there are no regrets or whatsoever with their form that has been spot on and would most likely conclude their season full of smiles as they've stood their ground in what has been a competitive season for them.

Currently in fifth place with 62 points, level on points with third-placed Zhejiang Professional and fourth-placed Shanghai SIPG, it appears their path to a third-place finish is solely dependent on luck and the hope that either side suffers a setback in their respective matches to pave the way for them.

Receiving three points in their most recent away game against Tianjin Teda gave them the much-needed boost they needed to revive their chances of finishing in the middle of the table, which at the moment seems to be unlikely.

Prior to that, they lost 3:0 on the road to Wuhan Zall, putting them on a two-match losing streak, but given the commendable turnaround in their performance that has been impressive, which has kept them out of the relegation zone, which, given the circumstances they were in, was almost certain.

They presently hold the eleventh spot with 45 points, one point ahead of Changchun Yatai, and no other course of action is possible than to settle for a ninth-place finish as their bid for mid-table finish is marred by significant goal differential.

Formation: 4-3-3

K. Ablet (32); E. Eysajan (48), J. Zhao (47), J. Ren (54), Z. Lu (38); N. Bosancic (40), S. Zhiwei (33), B. Tsonev (10); Y. Shang (23), Y. Chen (49), T. Wang (20).

• Chengdu Rongcheng are unbeaten in 13 games in the Super League.
• Dalian Pro have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last nine Super League matches.
• The average number of goals scored between Chengdu Rongcheng and Dalian Pro is 1.67.
• When playing at home, Chengdu Rongcheng averages 1.89 goals per game, while Dalian Pro averages 1.39 goals per game when playing away.

Chengdu Rongcheng has won once, Dalian Pro has won once, and there has been one draw in their last three meetings.

Chengdu Rongcheng may have outwitted the likes of formidable Wuhan Three Towns, which is an admirable accomplishment, but they may now be up for another equally difficult test when they take Dalian Pro for their final matchday of the super league. They lost to Dalian Pro by a score of 2:0 the last time they played, despite having the advantage in possession, which ultimately didn't matter.

Dalian Pro have walked the walk to get the job done given they were on the verge of dropping into the drop zone band. Now the only matter at hand is a mid-table finish, which will be their goal while inflicting another disappointing result on their opponents, and it goes without saying they'll be competitive.

As a result, we'll shift our focus to both teams finding the back of the net in this match, as it would be unrealistic not to expect it given that they both have a lot on the line worth fighting for, as well as the fact that they've been clinical in front of goal.
