Head-to-head statistics Manta FC - Deportivo Cuenca
Manta are unbeaten at home in their last four matches.
In their previous Serie A match on 18 October 2026, Manta lost away to Delfin 2-4. The score was level at 2-2 at half-time, and Manta finished the game with an advantage in dangerous attacks - 55 to 36 - but conceded two more goals.
Manta are having a difficult season - just 7 wins from 33 matches, with 20 defeats, which reflects problems at both ends of the pitch. In their last five games they have won twice, lost twice and drawn once, conceding close to two goals per game (1.8 on average) and scoring just over one (1.3). Over the full season, however, their scoring rate drops to 0.67 goals per match, while they have been conceding a fairly high 1.42 per game. The absence of any competitive motivation makes a sharp change in that pattern unlikely right now.

Match Results: Cuenca
Prediction for the 1st half
Deportivo Cuenca have drawn the first half in 10 of their last 11 matches, which is a strong trend for that part of the game. Given the low scoring of both teams and no clear contradicting factors, a first-half draw looks justified. The odds for this option are 1.96*.
Total Goals Prediction
Deportivo Cuenca have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 19 of their last 20 matches - an extremely consistent trend. Their seasonal average also reflects a low-scoring side (0.85 goals per game, and even less away from home at 0.63). No data has been found that contradicts Cuenca's low scoring output. The standout bet here is Deportivo Cuenca Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals at 1.31*.
Corners Prediction
In 11 of Manta's last 12 matches, the total corners has been under 10.5, pointing to a consistent trend towards low corner counts. On top of that, the last 7 head-to-head meetings between these two sides have also seen the total corners come in under 11.5, which further supports the low corners scenario. We're backing Total Corners - Under 10.5 at odds of 1.51*.
Safer Bet
In 14 of Manta's last 16 matches, the total goals have been under 3.5, pointing to a consistent low-scoring pattern. Both teams' seasonal figures for goals scored and conceded also suggest limited productivity. A reliable option looks to be Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.13*.
Correct Score Prediction
The algorithm's three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (15.25%), 0-0 (12.86%) and 1-1 (12.79%). All three reflect the low-scoring nature expected of this match and point to a minimal goal count. The 1-0 is rated most probable, though all three outcomes are close in likelihood.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Recent statistics clearly point to a cautious pattern from both sides: Manta are prone to defensive errors but have rarely been prolific in front of goal throughout the season; Deportivo Cuenca are even more restrained - five consecutive matches with a total of under 2.5 goals reflects a consistent low-scoring trend right now. Against this backdrop, the editors' pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
