Astillero have had a decent run in the Copa Ecuador. They have beaten top-flight opposition along the way - including a 2-1 win over Guayaquil City - but the further the tournament goes, the tougher the competition gets. In this match, they will not be able to impose themselves or even control spells of the game. They will be sitting deep and defending in numbers. Even that, though, is unlikely to be enough. Astillero simply are not equipped to operate at the same pace - in terms of both play and decision-making - as Universidad Católica.

The away team played their last official match on as part of the Serie A tournament (home team - Universidad Catolica, away - Manta). The match concluded with a scoreline of 5:1.

Here are the match stats (Universidad Catolica vs Manta):

• ball possession: 64% vs 36%;
• corner kicks: 6 vs 1;
• fouls: 11 vs 5;
• yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
• shots on target: 13 vs 3.

The away side are in reasonably good form, with three wins from their last five top-flight matches. They recently beat Manta 5-1 and have looked comfortable going forward. Against lower-division opposition, no major problems should arise. Expect them to try to settle the tie early, and once they score, their opponents will likely open up - something a team of this level will take advantage of. Over their last five matches, they have averaged more than three goals per game, and there is no particular reason to think that changes here.
