Guayaquil City hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 31 points and a 12th position in the Liga Pro table. Visiting Deportivo Cuenca holds 10th place with 40 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Deportivo Cuenca have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.

Guayaquil City can neither be promoted or relegated from Liga Pro. For Deportivo Cuenca most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
