Manta's 3-2 away win over Mushuc Runa in their previous Serie A match on 3 November 2026 came despite being outshot 26 to 11. Manta scored three goals from five shots on target, while their goalkeeper made eight saves.
Manta finish the league season in last place. In their last five matches, they have recorded three wins and two defeats, but over ten matches they have won only four times and lost five.

Prediction for the 1st half
Tecnico Universitario have scored in the first half in five consecutive home matches. At the same time, Manta have finished the first half level in eight of their last nine away matches; this does not rule out a goal for the hosts, but it limits confidence in the prediction.

Match Result Prediction
Manta have lost 12 of their 17 away matches this season, while Tecnico Universitario have won 7 of their 17 home matches. However, the hosts have also lost 8 times at home, so their victory cannot be considered a confident prediction. Given Mantaβs frequent away defeats, we pick Tecnico Universitario to win at odds of 1.76*.

β Editor's Prediction
Manta enter the final stage of the season in the relegation zone, and making up the eight-point gap is now almost impossible. The team are simply playing out the season. The hosts are in a better position and can still fight for points in the closing stages. Both teams have ended poor runs. Manta won away for the first time in five matches, while the hosts have picked up points in two consecutive rounds. Given the hosts' greater motivation, a bet on TΓ©cnico Universitario to win is worth considering.
