This is the Liga Pro season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Emelec or Guayaquil City get that important first win?

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

4-10-25 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Guayaquil City when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 39 matches are 33-71 (scored/conceded).

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
