Chengdu Rongcheng welcome Liaoning Tieren at Phoenix Mountain Professional Football Stadium, Chengdu on Saturday, Aug 29 at 1:35 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Chengdu Rongcheng come into this fixture drawing too many games (5D in last 5). Liaoning Tieren, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Chengdu Rongcheng here — they've won 3 of 3 previous meetings against Liaoning Tieren. Their last encounter ended in Liaoning Tieren won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Chengdu Rongcheng a slight edge, but Liaoning Tieren are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
