Manta form and stats

Manta have played three Primera B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Manta are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 370 minutes without scoring a league goal. Rodríguez was the last player to find the net.

The Manta fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estadio Jocay: A 0-1 defeat against Independiente Juniors (placed 5th).

Heartbreak before that as Manta lost 0-1 at El Nacional's place.

Manta has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Manta have conceded 5 from these games.

Independiente Juniors form and stats

Independiente Juniors are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera B, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

It's the second away game in a row for Independiente Juniors, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Manta (placed 10th) last time out.

Before that, Independiente secured a home win against America de Quito with the score 1-0.

As opposed to that, Independiente Juniors have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the previous six meetings): Manta won one game, three matches ended with a draw and Independiente Juniors have two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / three
