Manta have performed better than Independiente Juniors this season, but every match opens at 0-0. Here's all the intelligence you require before kickoff:
- Manta have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (4) in Primera B
- Independiente Juniors have yet to win a game away.
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 Manta and Independiente Juniors.
Manta form and stats
Home games in the Primera B have been a walk in the park for Manta so far, with 19 points won from 7 matches; 6 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. After failing to beat 9 de Octubre here at Estadio Jocay, Manta has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Manta shared the glory with Cuniburo in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Correa felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Cuniburo as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 25th minute.
Before that, Manta had a home game versus Macará which ended with a victory 3-1.Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 15 league games, 12 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).
There will be little rest for Manta after this match as they are travelling to Chacaritas for a Primera B game in only three days.
The Manta fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Defensively Manta have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 7 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Independiente Juniors form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Independiente Juniors so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Independiente Juniors's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Independiente won their last game, 1-0 versus Guayaquil played at home. That win felt sweet as this club had gone four league matches without victory.
Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting América de Quito's place.A new game in only four days for Independiente Juniors, the Primera B home match versus Macará. Busy days.
The attacking power of Independiente Juniors when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Independiente's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Independiente Juniors have won or drawn the last 8 games (5-3-0) against Manta.The last head to head meeting ended Independiente Juniors - Manta 3-1, played this season.
