Manta and Técnico Universitario meet in Liga Pro, with the hosts having just won 2-1 in their last match, while the visitors drew 1-1. Both are unbeaten in their last two, but their paths have been different. Manta sit near the bottom with 21 points from 30 matches, winning only 5 all season, scoring little and conceding plenty. Técnico Universitario, meanwhile, have collected 32 points from the same number of matches, winning 10, and look to have more about them in attack, even though their defence concedes a similar number of goals. Manta at home tend not to open up, often seeing less of the ball than their opponents in recent matches, and they have a problem with being pinned back and conceding, especially late on, where they ship as much as 30% of all the goals they concede. Técnico Universitario, for their part, don't dominate possession either, but they carve out slightly more shots on target, and one area to watch is the second half, where they too tend to concede easily. This one looks likely to be a cautious, back-and-forth affair. Neither team has a particularly sharp attack, but each gives the other openings. If Técnico Universitario defend solidly and don't let the hosts have space in the middle, the game tends to end without defeat, and the thing to watch from kick-off is how well the visitors handle the hosts' early pressure.
