China League One Table

They have scored 45 goals and conceded just 18, the best defensive record in the league. Shenzhen Juniors FC holds second place with 42 points, 8 points behind the leader. The race for the remaining promotion and European spots is tight. Guangxi Hengchen FC and Nantong Zhiyun are both on 36 points, though Guangxi has played one game fewer. Yanbian Longding follows closely with 35 points, keeping pressure on the top four. At the bottom, the relegation zone is not detailed in the current standings snapshot, but teams like Ningbo Professional FC Huilong, with 29 points from 21 games, will be looking over their shoulder as the season progresses.
Favorites & Title Chances
Based on the current China League One table and form, Guandong GZ Power FC has around a 65% chance to win the title. Their 8-point gap over second place, combined with the best attack and defense, gives them a huge advantage with only a few matchdays remaining. Shenzhen Juniors FC has roughly a 25% chance. They are the closest challenger but need Guandong to drop points in multiple fixtures while winning almost all of their own. Guangxi Hengchen FC, with a game in hand and 36 points, has about a 10% chance. They would need a near-perfect finish and a collapse from the top two. These title chances reflect the points gaps, remaining schedule, and the consistent form shown by the leader throughout the 2026 season.
