Universidad Católica Imbabura betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 10^th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 6 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Macará, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against El Nacional, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 4 points in away matches and 6 at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 15 conceded at home, against 10 goals scored and 25 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Imbabura has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (6 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 5 of the last 23 matches for the Liga Pro, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 4. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Imbabura, on the other hand, have shown signs of improvement in recent rounds, but are still having a campaign below expectations. Each point earned is crucial in trying to move away from the bottom positions, especially in a match as complicated as this one. The team will probably adopt a more defensive posture, prioritizing strong marking and avoiding giving space to the opponent. If they can hold off Católica's attack, Imbabura can increase their chances of coming away with a draw, a result that would be valuable given the circumstances.
