Barcelona Guayaquil and Universidad Católica meet in completely opposite states. The hosts have just lost at home 1-2 to a lower-ranked opponent, while the visitors also just lost 0-1, but before that they had won 3 matches across all competitions, including an away league win earlier this month. Barcelona Guayaquil still have defensive problems and struggle to close out games, especially late on when they concede unusually often, while in attack they rely more on the second half than the first. Universidad Católica, despite losing their last two, are still second in the table and clearly score more than this opponent. This game is likely to see the hosts forced to open up and attack, because they need three points at home and are behind in the standings, while Universidad Católica will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, using their superior attacking quality. If the hosts commit too many forward, they could get caught on the break and concede first.
