An important duel in the bottom section of the Primera B, with both Santa Rita and Gualaceo experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 7th place.
It's no vacation for neither Santa Rita nor Gualaceo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Santa Rita form and stats
With 1 Primera B win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Santa Rita, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Primera B, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The fans are hoping that Santa Rita will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Primera B game against América de Quito (placed 4th).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Santa Rita as they are travelling to their away game against Fuerza Amarilla in the Primera B. That match is three days after this one.
The Santa Rita fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Santa defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Gualaceo form and stats

Gualaceo delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Duros del Balón (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a Primera B game. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Fuerza Amarilla.
A new game in only three days for Gualaceo, the Primera B home match versus Independiente Juniors. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gualaceo as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Gualaceo in these games.
