Guayaquil City and Leones del Norte meet in Liga Pro with the same 39 points from 30 matches, but their overnight moods could not be more different. The hosts just closed things out with a 3-1 win, while the visitors just lost 0-1, leaving questions over how much they can bounce back in this one. Guayaquil City have been scoring steadily of late, but their defence is open enough to let opponents hit back in every match. At home they must be especially wary of conceding before half-time, a spell where they switch off more than at other times. Leones del Norte, meanwhile, are without a win in two straight, their attack has clearly gone flat, yet conceding late in matches remains a point to watch. This game should turn into a midfield exchange of blows. Both teams need points to climb the table, and both have defensive weaknesses that open the door for each other. The thing to watch from kick-off is the first moment either side presses hard enough to create a chance inside the box, because that will immediately tell us whether this opens up or shuts down.
