Prediction Guayaquil City vs San Antonio 2025 – Betting Tips for the Liga Pro Serie B on 11/09/2025

Match context and what’s at stake

Guayaquil City return to the Estadio Christian Benítez Betancourt on 11/09/2025 as the Championship Round enters Round 3, hosting San Antonio in what promises to be a gritty Ecuadorian Serie B clash. The fixture carries extra significance for the hosts, sitting third in the group with three points from two matches and a better defensive record at home, while San Antonio find themselves down in sixth with only one point and question marks over consistency. The earlier league meeting this season ended with Guayaquil City collecting a narrow 1-0 victory at San Antonio, a result that gives the hosts a psychological edge heading into this date in Guayaquil.

Form and statistical edge

Guayaquil City arrive with a mixed but encouraging run: five wins, two draws and three defeats in their most recent ten outings, with several tight results suggesting a team comfortable managing matches at home. The underlying numbers underline a clear home advantage — 24 goals scored at home against just eight conceded highlights a side that can control games in its own stadium. They average close to ten shots per match and have compiled a strong clean-sheet record with 11 shutouts, evidence of defensive solidity that San Antonio will struggle to breach consistently.

San Antonio’s recent sequence tells a different story. Their latest set of results has been more volatile: a 2-2 draw was followed by heavy defeats and low-scoring draws, producing three wins, four draws and three losses across ten matches. Offensively they have shown moments — three goals in the group so far and a decent total of efforts in their matches — but their away numbers and vulnerability in conceding (ten goals conceded away across the season) leave them exposed. San Antonio’s pattern of draws and defeats suggests they can be dangerous on the counter but often fail to close out matches or dominate possession in hostile environments.

Key match dynamics

This clash is likely to be controlled by Guayaquil City’s home rhythm. Their attack-to-defense balance, reflected in higher dangerous-attack averages and more efficient conversion of chances at home, makes them the steadier team. San Antonio have shown resilience in pockets — a recent 2-2 draw indicates they can find the net — but their defensive lapses and uneven form are significant concerns on the road. The head-to-head result earlier in the season, a 1-0 win for Guayaquil City in San Antonio, adds further weight to the hosts’ chances.

Prediction and betting suggestion: Back Guayaquil City to win (1X2 market). Given the home side’s stronger defensive record at Estadio Christian Benítez Betancourt, their superior home goal return, and San Antonio’s inconsistent away performances, the most sensible market in this matchup is a home victory for Guayaquil City.
