Head-to-head statistics Macara - Emelec

Macara Team Overview
Macará are currently sitting around the leading group, in 4th place. They have been reasonably productive in attack, averaging 1.38 goals per game. At home that figure rises to 1.57.

Emelec Team Overview
Emelec sit in the lower half of the table, but their recent form has been reasonably decent: three wins, a draw and a defeat in their last five matches. They recently beat Manta 1-0. The opposition today is certainly no pushover, but Emelec can realistically set up a decent counter-attacking game against them. They have also scored in each of their last three matches, so their overall average of 0.86 goals per game is perhaps not the most relevant figure right now. Defensively, their away record is far from impressive - they concede an average of 1.43 goals per game on the road - and no significant improvement in that area is expected.

Total Goals Prediction
In 10 of the last 11 head-to-head meetings played at Makara's ground, more than 1.5 goals were scored. Makara's home statistics also point towards goals: the team average 1.69 goals scored and 1.08 conceded per home match, suggesting goals at both ends on a regular basis. Given these numbers, Total Goals - Over 1.5 at 1.41* looks a reasonable bet.
Corners Prediction
Macara have won fewer than 5.5 corners in 14 of their last 16 Serie A matches, pointing to a consistent tendency for low corner activity. The run is long enough to be meaningful and holds in the home context as well. Macara Team Total Corners - Under 5.5 is priced at 1.75*.
Risky Bet
Macará have a strong home record this season: 8 wins and an average of 1.69 goals scored per home game. However, over a longer stretch of head-to-head meetings, Emelec have rarely lost by a large margin, which creates a conflict. Still, for a risky bet, Macará Handicap (-1) at 2.9* is worth considering.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Much of this match should play out in a way that suits the home side. Macará like to play in an attacking style and are capable of scoring a couple of goals - all the more so given how poorly Emelec defend. But the visitors will have their own chances going forward too. Our editorial team believes that, by the standards of the Ecuadorian league, this could be a high-scoring game. The match looks likely to end 2-1. We're backing Total Goals - Over 2.
