This is a game between two teams level on points at the top of the Liga Pro table. Both Universidad Católica and Macará have 51 points from 30 matches, so the result of this one directly affects the standings. Both need points from this game to avoid slipping out of the top group. Universidad Católica have just lost 1-2 in their latest match, but before that they picked up wins in three of four games, and their defence has conceded few goals all season. Macará, meanwhile, are on a two-match winning run and have scored more than their opponents this season, even if they have conceded slightly more. This is likely to be a game where the hosts have more of the ball and gradually open things up, while Macará are comfortable waiting for the counter. If Macará score first, the game will open up even more and the hosts will have to push higher, which is exactly the situation the visitors thrive in.
