The team reached the Ecuadorian Cup final
Universidad Católica's last match ended in an away win against LDU Quito in the Ecuadorian Cup on 5 November 2026. They won 2-1 and had more shots on target, 7-5, despite having fewer dangerous attacks: 47 to 78.
Universidad Católica are finishing the season in less convincing form: four wins, three defeats and three draws in their last ten matches, with just one win in the last five rounds. The visitors’ averages of 1.1 goals scored and 1 conceded per game over that ten-match spell point to a cautious style and relatively low scoring. Across the season as a whole, Universidad Católica score slightly more (1.54) and concede fewer (0.94) than Macará. The visitors have no league position to play for, which reduces the pressure to get a result.

Prediction for the 1st half
Macara have been level at half-time in 6 of their last 7 home matches. This is a clear trend for the selected period, but the data contain no other first-half statistics. Therefore, we pick a first-half draw at odds of 2.12*, bearing in mind the limited scope for further verification.
Match Result Prediction
Macara have won 8 of their last 9 home matches. This season, they have 11 wins in 16 home matches, while Universidad Catolica have won 4 of their 17 away matches. However, Macara have failed to win 12 of the last 13 head-to-head meetings - a significant caveat. Given their current home results, we pick Macara to win at odds of 2.17*.
Total Goals Prediction
Universidad Católica have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 away matches. They have averaged 0.94 goals away from home this season and 1 goal in their recent away matches. Macará have conceded an average of 0.88 goals at home this season and 0.75 in their recent home matches. We pick Universidad Católica Team Total Goals - Under 1.5 at odds of 1.40*.
Corners Prediction
Macará have taken fewer than 6.5 corners in 10 of their last 11 matches. They have also taken more than 3.5 corners in 10 of their last 11 home matches and more than 4.5 in five consecutive head-to-head matches. These runs are consistent with a maximum of six corners, although they do not guarantee it. We pick Macará Team Total Corners - Under 6.5 at odds of 1.39*.
High-Risk Bet
Macara have won 8 of their last 9 home matches and recorded 11 wins in 16 home games this season. Universidad Catolica have won 4 of their 17 away matches this season. However, they have covered a +1.5 handicap in 17 consecutive away head-to-head meetings, so backing the hosts with a handicap calls for caution. A bolder option is Macara - Handicap -0.75 at odds of 2.60*.
Safer Bet
In 13 of the last 15 head-to-head matches at Macara’s ground, there were fewer than 3.5 goals. Macara have averaged 1.69 goals scored and 0.88 conceded at home this season, while Universidad Catolica have averaged 0.94 scored and 0.94 conceded away. These figures provide further reason to consider Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.29*.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Both teams are ending the season with nothing left to play for in the standings, so the match could be more open. Macará are strong at home and regularly get results, but their head-to-head record suggests that home advantage is not always enough against Universidad Católica. However, the key factor is Macará’s run of home wins: they have won eight of their last nine home matches, in line with their recent form. The main prediction is - Macará to win.
