Head-to-head statistics Deportivo Cuenca - Guayaquil
Cuenca Team Overview
Deportivo are down in the lower reaches of the table, and their overall form makes for grim reading: four defeats in five matches. Last round they lost to Técnico Universitario (1-3). The root of their problems is defensive. They concede an average of 1.3 goals per game, and home advantage does little to change that - the figure is the same at home. That said, they are facing a side with their own defensive weaknesses, so the attack may find things considerably easier than usual. On average, Deportivo score one goal per game at home. A match with both sides going forward looks a reasonable possibility.

Guayaquil City Team Overview
Guayaquil City sit a few places higher in the table than their opponents - ninth against twelfth. They have won their last two matches, most recently beating LDU Quito 2-1. It is reasonable to expect them to play with a fair amount of attacking intent. They have been scoring freely of late, netting two or more goals in each of their last three matches. Over the course of the season their average is less impressive - around one goal per game - though away from home they are one of the better sides in that regard, averaging 1.08. Against Deportivo they could well produce a decent attacking display, though conceding is an acceptable trade-off for the way Guayaquil are currently playing.

Total Goals Prediction
Deportivo Cuenca have scored under 1.5 goals in 14 of their last 15 matches. In their last 10 home matches, the team have averaged just 0.6 goals, and across the full season at home they are averaging 1.08 goals per game. This low scoring rate is consistent across several different samples, which makes the bet on Deportivo Cuenca Team Total - Under 1.5 at 1.69* a reasonable one.
Risky Bet
Although head-to-head meetings between these sides rarely produce high-scoring affairs, Guayaquil City have averaged 1.5 goals per game in their last 10 away matches, while Deportivo Cuenca concede 1.31 goals per game at home. If both teams are active going forward, a scenario with four or more goals is not out of the question. This bet is for those looking for a higher price and willing to take on the risk: Total Goals - Over 3.5 at 4.10*.
The Reliable Bet
Both sides are capable of producing good attacking football. Guayaquil City have scored and conceded in six of their last seven away matches. Neither team's defence is particularly strong. For that reason, Total Goals - Over 1.5 at 1.40 looks like a reliable option*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (15.63%), 0-0 (12.60%) and 1-1 (11.24%). A narrow home win is considered the most probable outcome, though draws also carry a high probability. All three scorelines reflect the generally low-scoring nature of matches between these two sides.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
This match should produce relatively open football. Yes, the Ecuadorian league is not generally a high-scoring competition overall. That said, both teams here could offer some decent attacking play. The signs pointing to that are the poor defensive records on both sides, as well as their ability to threaten going forward. The weaker team is playing at home and will push forward with the backing of their supporters. The visitors are in good form. Our editorial team's recommended bet is Total Goals - Over 2.
