Delfin form and stats

Delfin have performed here at Estadio Jocay this season with 9 wins from 15 Liga Pro matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 3. The last three games played by Delfin, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

The points were shared in Delfin's previous game, also at home. Visiting Independiente del Valle travelled back with a point after a 2-2 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Independiente del Valle that finished 0-0.

A case of two points dropped for Delfin in the Independiente del Valle match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Delfin have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 4.

A decent goal production from Delfin in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 15 league matches. Delfin have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Macará form and stats

Macará's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Macará, who have the the best goal difference (+30) in Liga Pro, collect 32 points from their 15 away matches in the Liga Pro. 9 victories and 5 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Emelec game have they lost an away game, meaning Macará has taken points from eleven away matches in a row.

Macará failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga Pro home match vs Emelec that ended with defeat 1-2. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Emelec.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Macará playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 2 Macará wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

Macará are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 23 times in 15 away games so far. Macará are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
