The visiting El Nacional side should be favourites in this visit to Gualaceo, as the away team holds a 4 point advantage from their six league games this season.
- Gualaceo have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Primera B
- El Nacional have the the best goal difference (+5) in Primera B
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.
Gualaceo form and stats
As mentioned below, Gualaceo are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Primera B games.
Stress levels are on the rise for Gualaceo's attacking players as they have now played 218 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. de Jesus was their last goal scorer.
Gualaceo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Puerto Quito. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Independiente Juniors.
Gualaceo has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
El Nacional form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Primera B for El Nacional, who have the the best goal difference (+5) in Primera B, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
El Nacional won their last game, 4-0 versus Independiente Juniors played at home. Prior to that match, the Nacional manager J. Villafuerte faced defeat when travelling to Guayaquil and losing 1-2.
As mentioned above, El Nacional was the only team on the pitch versus Independiente Juniors in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nacional as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Nacional manager J. Villafuerte has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
