Guangdong GZ-Power and Guoan ready to clash in FA Cup 2026
Guangdong GZ-Power enjoyed another good win in their cup run at the weekend, when they travelled to Jiangxi Dingnan United F.C in Jia League 2026 and came away with a 3-1 win. Prior to that result, the hosts had drawn 0-0 at home to Shenzhen Juniors, and have won three of their five matches at home, drawing one and losing one. In their most recent outings, the hosts have shown a mixed form of two wins, two draws and a defeat in the last five, but their form over the last ten is more impressive, with six wins, two draws, and two defeats.
Coach Feng Feng has built a tough and compact unit from a three-at-the-back base, they do not play a possession game, but rather sit deep in a low block and counter with pace.
They have dynamic wing-backs that provide width and speed on the counter, while the compact midfield gives them the ability to play vertically in transition.
The visitors, Beijing Guoan FC, are no less dynamic, but their approach to the game is completely different. Coach Nick Montgomery, who was appointed in January 2026, has instilled a high pressing game on his side, they are not afraid to press systematically and with aggression.
Montgomery's men can make it a cup classic
Tactical setup
- Their two strikers provide enough of a threat to open up the opposition in a 4-4-2 that has enough tempo to allow them to play an effective high tempo game.
- Full-backs can provide width.
- Guoan's form over the ten previous games is four wins, four draws and just two defeats, but it's worth noting that it's not been as dominant a run as the host's.
Form and outlook
Beijing recovered from a disappointing 1-2 home defeat to Henan FC, before they travelled to Chongqing Tongliang Long and grabbed a vital 3-2 win.
The tactics of the two sides are polar opposites, with one playing reactive football and the other pro-active, which should lead to an end-to-end match.
The odds of 1.81 for Both Both Teams to Score – Yes and 1.73 for Over 2.5 goals looks appealing, as Guoan will be hungry for an upset.
