After struggling at the beginning of the season, Universidad Católica has finally found their form in recent weeks, coming into this fixture on the back of a five-game unbeaten run. Most recently, they secured a 1-0 away victory over Cumbaya, which kept them in ninth place, but just six points behind the second place.

Returning to the Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa after two straight away games, this clash presents a great opportunity for Católica to continue their good form at home. They’ve registered three of their five wins in the league at home and have lost only one of their previous five games against Mushuc Runa on home ground.

In addition, four of the six home games for Católica have seen the total goals scored reach 3 or more, the same as for their previous two encounters against Mushuc Runa. Therefore, the Over 2.5 line at -133 odds (potential winnings of $75 for every $100 bet) offered by BetMGM is an attractive option to take into account when placing a bet for this exciting game.

Possible lineup (4-3-3): Rafael Romo; Daniel Clavijo, Tomás Oneto, Franklin Guerra, Layan Loor; Facundo Martínez, Kevin Minda, Mauro Díaz, Janus Vivar, Cristián Martínez, Aron Rodríguez.

For their part, Mushuc Runa managed to put an end to a negative run of seven games without a win with an important 3-1 win against Orense. The team’s performance in the last game helped them to get out of the bottom of the standings, however they sit in second-to-last place and only two points behind last place, and knows that it must continue to improve.

Playing away from home isn’t ideal for Geovanny Cumbicus’ team, who have struggled on the road so far this season. In fact, they’ve only collected one point from their first seven away games in the league: one draw and six losses.It’s fair to say that playing on the road doesn’t generate much enthusiasm for the team, especially with a lackluster scoring record of just three goals on the road this season.

Possible lineup (4-4-2): Jorge Pinos; Marco Montano, Eddie Guevara, Facundo Rivero, José Monaga; Jimmy Evans, Charles Velez, Bruno Téliz, Bagner Delgado; Sergio González, Diego Ledesma.

El Jefe’s Prediction on Universidad Catolica vs Mushuc Runa

Mushuc Runa has struggled to create scoring opportunities this season, especially away from home. However, they’re coming off a strong performance in their last game, and will take on an Universidad Católica team that has struggled defensively, conceding 20 goals in 13 games this campaign.

That being said, Mushuc Runa is also one of the weakest defensive teams in the league, and Universidad Católica has scored in four of their last five league games. So, if Mushuc Runa wants to avoid another devastating loss, they’ll need to tighten up their defense.

Although Católica is superior to Mushuc Runa on paper, their defensive issues leave something to be desired. Therefore, our recommendation is to bet on both teams scoring, taking advantage of the -111 line offered by BetMGM for this pick.
