Universidad Católica and Aucas come into this match separated by just a single point in the table, with the hosts sitting 2nd, one place above their opponents, but both have just finished their last five games without a win. The hosts drew three in a row before this, while the visitors just finished with a defeat at home. The pattern of play of the two sides is clearly different. Universidad Católica dominate possession more and create noticeably more chances over their last ten games, while Aucas focus on sitting deep and waiting to counter. The visitors' defence is not bad, but their attack produces considerably fewer goals than their opponents, and when they have to play away, their first half often ends level rather than with a lead. If the hosts score first, the game will likely flow in one direction, because Aucas will have to open up and trade chances, which is exactly when Universidad Católica are at their best at finding the second and third gaps. The game may not be high-scoring, but the side that controls the game should be the one to close it out in the end.
