APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: LDU win or draw

Even though LDU will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on LDU to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

LDU does have its share of flaws, but Guayaquil City has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to LDU.

👉 Our prediction is: Guayaquil City to win the 1st half

As the odds and the statistics clearly indicate, Guayaquil City is the superior side in this matchup. They play an aggressive attacking style that puts pressure on their opponents. We expect more or less the same gameplan at home against LDU, which should result in a fast start.

That is why we are tipping Guayaquil City to win the first half in the half-time market.
