Chacaritas form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at EStadio de Pelileo as Chacaritas have scored 14 goals to get 28 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Primera B are 9-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Chacaritas travelled for their previous game, a trip to Independiente Juniors that ended 1-1.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Guayaquil.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chacaritas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 10 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

It should be taken into account that a glance at the 16 latest league matches shows that 12 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Chacaritas has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. From these home matches, Chacaritas have conceded only 7 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Manta form and stats

Manta have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Primera B, after 2-4-7 (13 played). Manta has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Manta are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the fixture against Imbabura (placed 6th). That win felt good as this team had gone five league fixtures without victory.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Libertad.

We have checked recent matches where Manta have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Manta's away league games. Only 5 goals from 13 travels. 14 goals have been conceded by Manta in these games.

Head 2 Head

Chacaritas - Manta 0-1 was the output when these teams formerly met, earlier this season. Statistics for the previous four meetings between these two teams are: one win for Chacaritas, one draw and two wins for Manta. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
