GUANGZHOU, China (Interstat) — A surging Guangdong Haoxin Trade side will host a resurgent Shaanxi Lianhe FC in a China League One clash on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, with playoff implications on the line.

Guangdong (14-5-7) sits near the top of the table and is coming off a 1-0 road victory over Suzhou Dongwu. The home side has been formidable, losing only five times all season across all competitions (15-6-8).

Shaanxi (7-8-6) enters the match with renewed confidence after a 2-0 win over Qingdao Hongshi FC snapped a four-match winless streak in the league. Their recent form has been a mix, with a 3-3 draw against Shenzhen FC and a 3-1 win over Shanghai Jiading preceding the victory.

The previous meeting between these teams on Aug. 23 resulted in a 2-1 victory for Guangdong on Shaanxi’s home pitch. That result is part of a strong overall campaign for Guangdong, which has consistently found ways to win close matches.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw. The result could be crucial for both sides as the season enters its final stretch, with Guangdong aiming to secure promotion and Shaanxi looking to climb the standings.
