Prediction Gualaceo vs Leones del Norte 2025 – Betting Tips for the Liga Pro Serie B on 08/10/2025

Clash in Azogues: Gualaceo aim to reassert dominance at home

The Championship Round of the Liga Pro Serie B throws up an intriguing fixture as Gualaceo welcome Leones del Norte to Estadio Municipal Jorge Andrade Cantos on 08/10/2025. On paper this reads like a home banker. Gualaceo sit second in the mini-table with 10 points from six matches and a recent head-to-head win over these same opponents less than a month ago. Despite a setback in their most recent outing—a 1-0 defeat to Guayaquil City—there’s an argument that Gualaceo have the profile of a side that can bounce back strongly in front of their own fans. Their overall attacking numbers are eye-catching; more total shots, more shots on target, and a higher goals return when playing at home than Leones have managed on their travels.

Leones del Norte arrive in Azogues with momentum of their own after a narrow 1-0 victory over Independiente Juniors earlier this week. The visitors have been resilient, drawing more than losing across the campaign and capable of grinding out results. Their form suggests a team that is difficult to beat—three draws in six and only a single win before that recent success—but they sit fifth and are chasing consistency. Defensive solidity is part of their identity, with an encouraging tally of clean sheets to their name. That said, their goal production away from home is modest and they face a Gualaceo side that presses and creates chances in volume.

Tactical subplot and what to expect on matchday

This promises to be a contest between Gualaceo’s attacking appetite and Leones’ organised resistance. Historically the most recent meeting ended 2-1 in favour of Gualaceo, and that match hinted at the home side’s ability to carve openings against these visitors. While both teams have shown bouts of goal-scoring threat, overall over/under indicators tilt slightly towards a tighter encounter than a goal-fest. Gualaceo’s slightly superior possession of clear-cut chances and their habit of scoring at home give them the edge, while Leones’ solid defensive numbers and tendency to see matches finish with both teams on the scoresheet make this a competitive affair.

Betting suggestion Backing the home side makes the most sense in this matchup. Gualaceo have the better standing in the Championship Round, superior attacking metrics and the confidence of a recent H2H victory. The pick for the 1X2 market is a Gualaceo win.
