Chengdu Rongcheng holds a dominant position in the 2026 Chinese Super League title race, sitting 12 points clear of Dalian Yingbo after 26 matchweeks with a 15-7-4 record and the league's strongest defensive record. The gap leaves Chengdu needing just one more point across the final four fixtures to secure the crown, even if Dalian wins out. Recent form shows Chengdu maintaining consistency despite a goalless draw at Henan that delayed clinching, while Dalian secured a 2-1 home win over Qingdao Hainiu. Trader consensus reflected in the current pricing accounts for Chengdu's superior goal difference, head-to-head results, and schedule strength. Late-season injuries, a dramatic collapse in results, or unforeseen disciplinary issues could theoretically reopen the race, though such outcomes remain highly improbable given the standings and remaining fixtures.
