Nantong Haimen vs Xiamen Feilu Prediction & Betting Tips (7 October)

Nantong Haimen Codion host Xiamen Feilu on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 at the Haimen Sports Center Stadium in Round 25 of the China League Two Relegation Group B, in what is effectively a six-pointer near the top of the group: Xiamen Feilu sit second on 32 points while Nantong Haimen trail them by just two points in third, meaning a home win would catapult the hosts above their visitors with the relegation-stage campaign entering its decisive stretch.

The home side arrive with momentum after grinding out a disciplined 2-0 away victory over Wuhan Three Towns B in their previous outing, and Gao Wanguo's men have built their 2026/2027 season on defensive resilience, conceding just 24 goals across their 24 matches, the second-best defensive record in the group. Nantong Haimen's squad for the 2026/2027 campaign blends experienced campaigners with academy products, and the coaching staff have repeatedly praised the group's compactness, with the side drawing 12 of their 24 fixtures, a league-high, underlining how difficult they are to break down at home.

Xiamen Feilu, however, boast the most dangerous individual weapon on the pitch in Liu Ziming, who leads their 2026/2027 squad with 11 goals and 8 assists in 20 appearances, operating as the focal point of a 4-2-3-1 system that also features creative support from the likes of Lu Chenghe, Gu Jiayi and Liao Lei. The visitors have endured a streaky campaign, failing to win in four consecutive matches earlier in the run-in before bouncing back with a vital victory, and their away form, six clean sheets this term, suggests they will make Nantong work for every chance.

With both teams so evenly matched, the European odds reflect a tight contest, with an indicative market pricing Nantong Haimen at around 2.40 to win, the draw at 3.00 and Xiamen Feilu at roughly 2.90, and given the hosts' superior defensive numbers and home advantage at Haimen Sports Center, our prediction is a narrow 1-0 home victory for Nantong Haimen Codion, a result that would see them leapfrog Xiamen Feilu into second place in the Relegation Group B standi
