Delfín - Emelec Guayaquil Ennusteet ja Vetovihjeet

Delfín plays only to complete the schedule: they cannot qualify and cannot be relegated. This has led to heavy rotations, benching several key players (including top scorer Mendoza, Pérez Tica, Cuello, Cabeza, Nazareno, Vega, Heras) and giving minutes to substitutes and academy players. Their last two performances show clear lack of competitive interest, losing 8–0* and 3–0*. Their recent form is extremely poor: only 1 win in the last 19 matches, and even that victory came with little merit. Offensively, they rely on Mendoza, who hasn’t scored since August; their second top scorer is a centre-back; and their main creators haven’t delivered assists in months. Gallardo is suspended. Emelec remains fully motivated, needing three points to stay alive in the Sudamericana race. They own the better squad, are adapted to Manta’s climate, and will likely enjoy the majority of fan support. Their recent defeats were not reflected in the underlying metrics, as the team did not lose the moral result decisively in any of them. Fair line: Emelec -1.75 @1.81 Predicted scores: 0–1, 0–2, 0–3, 1–3, 1–4
