Yunnan Yukun's last five results: D, L, W, L, W. They drew 2-2 at home against Shanghai SIPG on July 17, showing attacking intent but defensive frailties. A 4-3 away loss to Shandong Luneng on July 10 exposed their backline again. They bounced back with a 2-1 home win over Henan Jianye on July 3, but then lost 4-2 at Qingdao Hainiu on June 26.

Chengdu Rongcheng comes into this match unbeaten in five: D, D, D, W, W. They played out three consecutive 1-1 draws: away to Qingdao West Coast on July 17, home to Chongqing Tonglianglong on July 11, and away to Qingdao Hainiu on July 5. They then secured a 3-2 away win at Shenzhen Peng City on June 27 and a commanding 4-0 FA Cup victory at Shanghai Zetian on June 20. Chengdu's defense has been solid, conceding just one goal in each of those league draws, and their attack has been consistent. They have not lost in any of their last five outings.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record heavily favors Chengdu Rongcheng. In three previous meetings, Chengdu has won twice and drawn once. The most recent clash on April 21, 2026, ended 2-1 to Chengdu at home.

Win Probability: Yunnan Yukun or Chengdu Rongcheng?

We calculate win probabilities by combining bookmaker odds with recent form and head-to-head data. The average odds imply a 23.6% chance for a Yunnan win, 35.3% for a draw, and 41.1% for a Chengdu win. Adjusting for Chengdu's unbeaten run (two wins, three draws) and their dominant H2H record (2W-1D-0L), we increase the away win probability to 45%. The draw probability is set at 30%, and Yunnan's win chance at 25%. Home advantage is considered, but Chengdu's strong away form (unbeaten in last five away games) supports the higher probability. Therefore, Chengdu Rongcheng has a 45% chance of winning, the draw is at 30%, and Yunnan Yukun has a 25% chance.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers' odds for this China FA Cup fixture reflect Chengdu Rongcheng's status as favorite. One bookmaker offers 3.75 for a Yunnan Yukun win, 2.50 for the draw, and 2.15 for an away win. Other bookies show even shorter away odds, with one listing 1.82 for a Chengdu victory. The relatively low draw odds (2.50) suggest a tight contest is expected. Based on the stats, Chengdu Rongcheng is the most likely winner, but a draw remains a plausible outcome given their recent string of stalemates. Our Yunnan Yukun vs Chengdu Rongcheng prediction is an away win.
