Team form
Ningbo Professional
Ningbo Professional currently lies at 10th in the table with 29 points from 25 games, showcasing a record of 9 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses. In their last five outings, they have demonstrated a solid attack, averaging 1.8 goals per game, while conceding an average of 0.6 goals. This recent performance includes two wins against Changchun Yatai and Meizhou Kejia, as well as two draws and one win over Dalian Huayi. Overall, they appear to be regaining their goalscoring touch and will look to capitalize on this in front of their home fans.
Nanjing City
Nanjing City, however, occupies a precarious 14th position on the league table, having garnered 21 points through 5 wins, 6 draws, and 14 losses. Their recent form shows some improvement, but remains inconsistent with an average of 1.0 goals scored and 0.4 conceded over their last five matches. Notable results include two wins against Meizhou Kejia and Shaanxi Union, alongside a draw and a loss to Guangxi Hengchen. Despite these victories, they remain one of the lower-scoring teams this season, which could impact their prospects against Ningbo.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head history leans slightly in favor of Ningbo Professional after their recent meeting on June 13, 2026, when they secured a 2-1 victory against Nanjing City. This result should boost their confidence and adds a psychological edge as they approach this matchup.
Key factors
A key element for Ningbo will be their offensive capability and home advantage, alongside the impetus of their previous win against Nanjing City. Their recent goal-scoring record, paired with Nanjing's defensive vulnerabilities—losing 14 matches this season, some by multiple goals—suggests that Ningbo can find the net more freely. Conversely, Nanjing City will need to improve their attack to overcome their struggles, particularly if they aim to turn this matchup in their favor. The effectiveness of both team’s midfields will also play a crucial role in determining possession and control of the game.
Prediction
Considering the overall form, recent performances, and their previous encounter, Ningbo Professional emerges as the clear favorite. With their offensive resurgence and the benefit of playing at home, the expectation leans toward a narrow victory for them if they can successfully manage pressure and convert opportunities.
Overall, a home win seems the most probable outcome as Ningbo Professional looks to capitalize on their recent form against a struggling Nanjing City.
