Preview
Manta and Universidad meet at Estadio Jocay, in a match for the 20th round of the Liga Pro. Universidad Católica got a home win by (3‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 15‑03‑2025. In 2 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 2. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 14th and 8th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 11th best team in home matches and the 11th best in away matches.

Analysis Manta

After 4 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, the home team is in the 14th position, havinf won 20 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against El Nacional by (1‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑0) an away match against Delfin. This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 14 points, against only 6 points in away matches. For the league, Manta won 14 points out of 27 possible points, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in the last 9 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑1 (5 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 6 of the last 9 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

It is still a delicate situation in the season. Manta has been struggling to impose their rhythm in the field and has not achieved good results, not even in its stadium. Within the relegation zone of the Ecuadorian Championship table, the team needs to change their way of playing if they want to have any chance of winning three precious points in this duel against the Universidad Católica team, which does not usually give up points easily.

Confirmed Lineup: Wálter Chávez, Josué Chalá, Alexander Medina, Andrés Madruga, Mateo Ortiz, Danny Cabezas, Liberman Torres, Braian Ramírez, Christian Alemán, Jostin Alman, Daniel Valencia .
Coach: J. Carvajal Burgos.

Analysis Universidad

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 6 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Independiente del Valle, by (0‑3). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Mushuc Runa, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 9 points in away matches and 16 points at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 9 goals conceded at home, against 15 goals scored and 15 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Universidad has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Universidad Católica knows that things are not going well at the moment. The team has not won in three games in the Ecuadorian Championship and needs to get back to winning ways in order to progress in the league table, where the situation is still not comfortable. Showing more respect for the opponent and counterattacking effectively could be key factors in overcoming a Manta team that is currently in a delicate situation.

Confirmed Lineup: R. Romo, E. Mejía, D. Romero, L. Cangá, C. Medina, G. Anangonó, J. Cacciabue, L. Moreno, A. Rodríguez, B. Palacios, Ismael Díaz.
Coach: J. Célico.
