El Nacional battle Guayaquil for honour and triumph.
- Guayaquil have the most dropped points from leading position (3) in Primera B
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for El Nacional and Guayaquil.
El Nacional form and stats
The first Primera B game here at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa resulted in a draw. Last season El Nacional's home game statistics were 13 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 18 games.
El Nacional are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Chacaritas.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Olmedo that ended 1-1.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Nacional's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.
At Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa, El Nacional has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Guayaquil form and stats
Guayaquil are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera B, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
It's the second away game in a row for Guayaquil, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Manta (placed 9th) last time out.
A 1-2 loss hosting Imbabura before that.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Guayaquil when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning two games.
It's early days yet, but Guayaquil has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
