Deportivo Cuenca host Mushuc Runa in Serie A with league points at stake. CheckLive has no clear favourite here, which reflects a genuinely close contest between two sides at opposite ends of recent momentum.
Deportivo Cuenca have lost four of their last five, beating Emelec 2-1 but falling 0-2 to Orense SC, 1-2 to Manta FC, 0-1 to Independiente del Valle and 0-3 to Macará. Mushuc Runa have lost only once in five, drawing 0-0 with Barcelona SC and 1-1 with Emelec, while beating Técnico Universitario 3-0 and Manta FC 2-1, with a 0-2 loss at Libertad.
The head-to-head favours the hosts: eight meetings have brought four Deportivo Cuenca wins, two draws and two Mushuc Runa wins. However, the most recent meeting went decisively to Mushuc Runa, 4-1, and they arrive in better form. With Cuenca needing to stop the slide and the visitors capable of punishing them, a draw is a very real possibility.
