Head-to-Head

Head-to-head statistics Guayaquil - LDU Quito

Guayaquil City Team Overview
At the moment, Guayaquil City sit 10th in the table. They are a typical mid-table side, which their form over the last five matches bears out: three draws, one win and one defeat. In the previous round they beat Técnico Universitario 3-2 in a very open, high-scoring game. That kind of match tends to be the norm for Guayaquil City away from home. At home, though, the team leans more towards defensive football, conceding just 0.85 goals per game. That quality should come to the fore here, especially given that they also score very little at home - 0.85 goals per game as well. A low-scoring outcome is expected.
Match Results: Guayaquil City

LDU Quito Team Overview
LDU are in excellent form, having won four matches in a row across all competitions. They recently beat Aucas 1-0 in the Copa Ecuador, and before that defeated Emelec 2-0 in the league. There is good reason to expect them to be solid defensively again here. In that regard, they are the best side in the league away from home, conceding an average of 0.77 goals per away match. Given that their opponents have significant problems in attack and finishing, another strong defensive performance seems likely. Opening up also makes little sense for LDU at the moment, as the team has been playing twice a week recently and needs to conserve energy.

Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Under 2.5 has landed in 14 of LDU Quito's last 15 away matches, which is a very consistent run.

Corners Prediction
Guayaquil City have taken fewer than 3.5 corners in seven consecutive head-to-head matches against LDU Quito, pointing to a consistent trend in meetings between these two sides. That run across a lengthy series of head-to-head games makes Guayaquil City Team Total Corners - Under 3.5 at 1.70* worth considering.
Reliable Bet
Guayaquil City have failed to win in 14 of their last 15 head-to-head meetings with LDU Quito, which speaks to an extremely long-running sequence. LDU Quito have lost only 5 of their 17 matches this season, and their away goals-conceded record is one of the best in the league (0.83). These figures make LDU Quito not to lose at 1.35* the most reliable bet for this fixture.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
The away side look slightly more favourable in this one. They sit higher in the table and their overall condition appears more impressive. That said, Guayaquil City will look to get everything they can out of their defensive shape at home - and they are fairly solid in that regard. LDU Quito, under the workload they are carrying, are unlikely to produce a full attacking display either. Our editorial team believes that two reasonably well-organised defensive sides meeting here points towards a low-scoring outcome. We are backing Total Goals - Under 2.5.
