Match Result Prediction
Aucas have covered the handicap (+1.5) in 19 of their last 20 away matches. This season they have lost just four games on the road. That record does not guarantee anything, but combined with the long-term away trend it supports a bet on Aucas Handicap +1.5 at 1.33.
Corners Prediction
Universidad Catolica have served five or fewer corners in 7 of their last 8 Serie A matches. On top of that, they have failed to reach 6.5 corners in five consecutive home matches. The home run relates to a higher line, so it serves as additional rather than equivalent supporting evidence. We're going with Universidad Catolica Team Total Corners - Under 5.5 at 1.85.
Safer Bet
Aucas have scored no more than one goal in 11 consecutive matches. Their average of 0.6 goals per game across their last ten away matches, and 0.94 away goals per game this season, points towards Aucas Team Total - Under 1.5 at odds of 1.25.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both teams are well short of their best form, but the motivation in the remaining rounds should push them to go for the win. A draw is unlikely to satisfy either side, given that LDU Quito - another contender for the Copa Libertadores - is not standing still. So we're working on the assumption that both teams will set winning as their primary goal rather than settling for a single point. What stands out is the bookmakers' scepticism about Aucas scoring. Yet Universidad Católica have conceded at home in 10 of their last 11 matches. Aucas themselves have scored away in 7 of their last 8 Serie A matches. They haven't won often, but they have been scoring. That makes the attractive odds on Aucas to Score too good to ignore.
