Welcome to our Beijing Guoan vs Dalian Zhixing prediction for the Chinese Super League fixture on September 26, 2025. This match at Workers' Stadium brings together two sides with contrasting ambitions and recent fortunes. In this preview, we’ll break down the teams’ tactics, recent form, and betting odds, and share our AI-powered tips to help you make informed decisions.
Beijing Guoan, currently sitting 4th in the league, have had a turbulent run lately. Despite their high standing, the capital club has struggled for consistency, recording three losses and a draw in their last four outings across all competitions. Their most recent league outing saw them stumble to a 2-3 defeat against Shanghai SIPG, following a 2-0 loss to Henan Jianye and a heavy 6-0 defeat at Shandong Luneng. However, a 2-2 away draw at Chengdu Better City—where they were underdogs—showed resilience, even if their odds of 5.6 suggested a likely defeat.
Dalian Zhixing, meanwhile, are 8th in the table. Their recent form is a mixed bag: one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five league games. They managed a 2-1 win over Sichuan Jiuniu and a 1-1 draw with Yunnan Yukun, but heavy defeats to Henan Jianye and Tianjin Teda highlight defensive vulnerabilities.
Under Quique Setién, Beijing Guoan favor a possession-based, attacking approach. Expect them to dominate the ball, as reflected in the predicted 67% possession. Injuries, however, have taken a toll: Uroš Spajić and Han Jiaqi are long-term absentees, while Zhang Xizhe and Shaocong Wu are also sidelined. Despite this, Guoan’s attacking arsenal remains potent, led by Fábio Abreu (19 goals), with creative support from Lin Liangming, Guga, and Serginho.
Dalian Zhixing typically line up in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, relying on width and quick transitions. Cephas Malele is their top scorer and main threat on the break. While detailed injury reports are scarce, their tactical discipline and counter-attacking style can trouble teams, though they often concede possession and territory.
Let’s turn to the numbers for our Beijing Guoan vs Dalian Zhixing prediction. The betting odds paint a clear picture: Guoan are strong favorites at 1.41 for a home win, while a draw is priced at 5.0 and an away win at 6.0. Our proprietary NerdyTips AI has analyzed the data and gives a home win (1) a confidence rating of 10.0/10, making it the standout tip for this fixture.
The expected final score of 3:1 aligns with recent head to head results and the attacking intent of both teams. Guoan’s home advantage, superior squad depth—even with injuries—and tactical discipline under Setién make them the logical pick. Dalian Zhixing’s counter-attacks may yield a goal, but they’re unlikely to keep Guoan’s attack at bay for long.
In summary, our Beijing Guoan vs Dalian Zhixing prediction points firmly towards a home victory, with plenty of action expected in front of goal. Guoan’s possession football and attacking firepower should see them through, but don’t rule out Dalian Zhixing snatching a goal on the break. For punters and fans alike, this promises to be an entertaining encounter with clear betting opportunities.
