Serie A Ecuador

Our Prediction for Barcelona Guayaquil vs Universidad Catolica Quito
The team from "Estadio Banco Pichincha" has won the championship multiple times. However, last season they only managed to finish third, falling nine points behind the two leaders, with 56 points against 65. Their opponents from the capital were just below them in the 2024 table, claiming the next spot with 51 points.
Guayaquil's representatives played in the Copa Libertadores, but performed poorly—securing only four points and, unsurprisingly, finishing last in their group. The visitors, on the other hand, were the best in their group in the Copa Sudamericana with fourteen points. However, in the playoffs, they immediately lost to Alianza Lima, 0-2 and 1-2.
In the domestic league, Rescalvo’s team has been faring better. While they are unlikely to become champions, the race for the runner-up spot is in full swing. In the previous round, they earned a hard-fought but important win over Vintonito. The opponents have been less consistent, recording several draws. They even managed a 2-0 win over Tecnico Universitario.
