Emelec and Manta meet on Sunday, Sep 6 at 10:00 PM in the Serie A.

Emelec come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Manta travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Emelec here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Manta, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Emelec a slight edge, but Manta are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
