Macara vs Deportivo Cuenca Prediction (22.07.2026)

Only one point separates Macara and Deportivo Cuenca in the Ecuador championship standings after the first 20 rounds. The upcoming direct clash is an excellent opportunity for both teams to distance themselves from the danger zone, but the current form puts the visitors under more serious pressure.

Deportivo Cuenca has not won in their last four championship matches, losing three of them. Macara also suffered a defeat in the last round, but prior to that had won three consecutive matches. However, the more impressive trend is towards low scoring. In seven of Macara's last nine matches, there were under 2.5 goals, and the same applies to each of Deportivo Cuenca's last six matches. Additionally, five of the last six direct encounters between the two teams also finished with under 2.5 goals.

I expect a cautious and evenly matched game, in which both teams will be more careful. Given their form and the clear statistics from recent matches, my prediction is for under 2.5 goals.
