Manta form and stats

Manta are confident in defense, having played 203 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Manta shared the glory with Imbabura in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.

Heartbreak before that as Manta lost 0-4 at Emelec's place.

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 Manta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Primera B game versus Guayaquil in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio Jocay.
