Qingdao Jonoon vs Beijing Guoan: A Team in Freefall Meets an Unbeaten Side
Preview
Right, so here's a fixture that's got a bit of a one-sided story to tell, and I'll be honest — it's not a pretty one for the home side.
Qingdao Jonoon have lost their last five matches, and I mean that in the most unglamorous way possible. Four goals scored, thirteen conceded. They've been beaten 1–5 at home by Wuhan Three Towns, 0–1 by Shanghai Shenhua on their own patch, and 1–2, 1–3 and 1–2 on the road. Over their last ten games at any venue, the record reads 0 wins, 0 draws, 10 losses. Zero points. That's not a dip, that's a freefall. And if you look at their home record over the last 20 games — 8 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses — well, that's not terrible, but the last two home results (that 1–5 and that 0–1) tell you the old numbers are being left behind fast.
Now turn to Beijing Guoan and it's a completely different world. Six wins and four draws in their last ten — not a single defeat. They're scoring 2.5 a game and conceding just 1.1. Their last outing was a 3–1 win over Pohang Steelers in the Champions League, and before that a 3–1 FA Cup win. Their away record over 20 games is 9 wins, 7 draws, 4 losses, with 1.85 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. That's a side that travels well and keeps their shape on the road.
The head-to-head in the last 12 months gives us two meetings, both at Beijing's ground. Beijing won 4–2 in May, and Qingdao pulled off an away win 4–2 back in October 2025. No meetings at Qingdao's ground in that window. The older meetings at Qingdao's ground were two 1–1 draws, but those are historical and don't really tell you what's happening now.
The counter-argument, if you're being generous to Qingdao, is that their home record over 20 games isn't a disaster — 8 wins out of 20 — and the older head-to-head at this ground produced draws. But let's be real: a team that's lost ten in a row and conceded 29 goals in that stretch isn't going to suddenly find a second wind because of a 20-game average that's been diluted by results from over a year ago. The current form is the story, and the story is grim.
The market has Beijing Guoan at 1.47, which prices them at 68.03%. Given the gulf in form — one side unbeaten in ten and scoring like a machine, the other side winless in ten and leaking goals like a sieve — I'd put Beijing's chances a touch higher than the market does. The away record backs it up, the recent head-to-head backs it up, and the goals-per-game numbers make it hard to see Qingdao keeping a clean sheet or even scoring.

- Qingdao Jonoon have lost their last 5 matches (4 scored, 13 conceded) and are winless in 10
