Competition: Ecuadorian Serie B
Market: Guayaquil City win
Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their recent purple patch, Guayaquil City will welcome Vargas Torres to the Estadio Christian Benitez on Thursday night.
Starting with the hosts, putting in a rugged performance last week as they snatched a 0-0 stalemate away at promotion contenders Gualaceo, Guayaquil have embarked on a real flurry. Continuing to climb their way up the Ecuadorian Serie B table and finding a route into the top-half, Pool Gavilanez’s men will be looking to make another statement here. In fact, opening July with a stunning 5-0 romp against Chacaritas, the Sky Blues have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 13 second-tier appearances. With that extended flurry stemming all the way back to May 8th, El Equipo will also be excited by their defensive steel. Including a routine 2-0 win against San Antonio on July 17th, Thursday’s hosts have recorded a clean sheet in four of their last five outings. It should also be noted, Guayaquil have won all of their last four matchups on home soil by an aggregate score of 11-2.
As for the visitors, while Vargas Torres might have eventually clung to their Serie B status last season, the Esmeraldas-based outfit have a real battle on their hands this time around. Missing out on what was billed as a golden opportunity last week as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against fellow strugglers Leones del Norte, Luis Tenorio’s men have failed to muster a single victory from any of their previous 12 appearances across all competitions. With that extended crisis stemming all the way back to May 15th, Thursday’s guests have also shown some rather glaring issues in the final third. Including a 1-0 defeat against Gualaceo on July 17th, Vargas Torres have failed to find the net in any of their previous three Serie B matchups. It should also be highlighted, Tenorio’s men have recorded just a single second-tier strike since the middle of June.
