Emelec welcome Manta on Sunday, Sep 6 at 10:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Emelec come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Manta travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), 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.
