⭐ Editorial Prediction
Santos boast a stronger squad, but their inconsistency and the away game factor level the playing field. Cuenca, on the other hand, can play a disciplined game and impose a challenging tempo. The match is likely to be tight and not particularly high-scoring. However, the visitors' class should make a difference in at least one moment. Nevertheless, our prediction: total over 1.5 goals, which has come through in 8 of Deportivo's last 9 home matches and in 13 of Santos' last 14 matches.
