Qingdao Youth Island vs Dalian Zhixing Prediction

Qingdao Youth Island host Dalian Zhixing at their ground on 11 October 2026 in the Super League, and the venue records tell a clear story. Over 20 home games spanning 13 months, Qingdao Youth Island have recorded 7 wins, 10 draws and 3 losses, averaging 1.55 points per game and conceding just 1 goal per match. Their home defence has kept 6 clean sheets in those 20 fixtures. Dalian Zhixing, by contrast, have managed only 3 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses in 20 away games over 12 months, averaging 0.85 points per game and conceding 2.05 per match. The gap in venue records is significant.

The head-to-head record sits entirely in Qingdao Youth Island's favour: three wins from three meetings, with 7 goals scored and 2 conceded. However, only one of those meetings falls within the last 12 months — the 2–3 away win at Dalian Zhixing's ground on 15 May 2026. The other two, including the 2–0 home win in April 2025, are historical and do not reflect current form. There have been no recent meetings at this fixture's venue.

The counter-argument is Dalian Zhixing's current momentum. They have won their last two matches, scoring 3 and conceding 1, and sit at 3 wins and 2 draws from their last five with 2.2 points per game. Their attack has been consistent — they have failed to score in only 0 of their last 5 games. Qingdao Youth Island, meanwhile, are on a two-game drawing run and have managed just 1 win and 4 draws from their last five, with 2 of those draws being 0–0. Their only victory in that stretch was the 2–0 over Shandong Luneng on 22 August. The flatness of their recent output makes it hard to call this a certainty despite the home record.

Both teams have finished under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches, and the venue records point the same way: 13 of Qingdao's 20 home games and 9 of Dalian's 20 away games finished under 2.5. The scoring picture suggests a tight, low-scoring affair, though Dalian's away record does show 11 of 20 away games going over 2.5.

Key Points:

• Qingdao Youth Island's home record (7W 10D 3L, 1.55 ppg) sits well above Dalian Zhixing's away record (3W 8D 9L, 0.85 ppg).

• Qingdao Youth Island have won all three head-to-head meetings, though only one is within the last 12 months.

• Dalian Zhixing are in good recent form (3W 2D 0L in last 5) but their away record over 20 games is poor.

• Both teams have finished under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches.

• Qingdao Youth Island's recent form is flat: 1W 4D 0L with a current two-game drawing run.

The venue records and head-to-head point toward Qingdao Youth Island, but their recent form is too flat to call this a certainty, and Dalian Zhixing's current run of form makes the away side a genuine threat. No outcome here clears the bar for a confident recommendation. no bet.
