It's still early in the Primera B season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Independiente Juniors - Gualaceo preview!
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.
Independiente Juniors form and stats
Independiente Juniors have played 3 Primera B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A good away victory last time out for Independiente, who won 1-0 against Puerto Quito (placed 5th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Chacaritas.
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 Independiente have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Independiente as they are travelling to their away game against America de Quito in the Primera B. That match is four days after this one.
Independiente Juniors has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Independiente Juniors have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Gualaceo form and stats
It's not happening yet for Gualaceo on their Primera B travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Gualaceo manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-1 against Santa Rita in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Duros del Balon's place.
Gualaceo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and one defeat. From a total of three matches.
After this away game Gualaceo return home for a Primera B game against Manta. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gualaceo as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Gualaceo have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Independiente, one draw and one win for Gualaceo. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: three games.Independiente Juniors missing players
