Barcelona SC welcome Delfin to the Estadio Monumental in a fixture that looks lopsided on paper. Barcelona sit sixth in the Apertura table with 43 points from 29 games, while Delfin occupy 15th place with just 26 points and the second-worst defensive record in the league. The two sides met twice already this cycle, with Barcelona winning both, and the gulf in current form makes this one of the more predictable results on the weekend card, though Delfin have shown they can grind out the odd result against bigger names this season.
Tomás Rodríguez has been Barcelona’s most productive attacker recently, scoring twice in his last five appearances while racking up 15 shots, and he leads the line as the focal point of Pablo Trobbiani’s attack. On the other side, Anthony Bedoya Caicedo has been Delfin’s most involved defender going forward, contributing a goal from the back, though his three yellow cards in five games hint at a physical, high-risk approach under pressure.
Hot stat: Barcelona SC have netted 6 goals across their last five matches compared to a single goal for Delfin in the same span, a gap that says everything about the attacking mismatch heading into Guayaquil.

Barcelona SC vs Delfin prediction
We predict Barcelona SC to win comfortably at home. Their squad depth, home comfort at the Monumental and a five-goal cushion over Delfin in recent output all point the same direction. Delfin have lost nine of their last fifteen matches and their away form this season has been particularly shaky, sitting near the bottom of the table with a goal difference of -12.
Barcelona average close to 14 shots and 47 passes-per-fouls-ratio worth of control per match in their last five games, while Delfin have picked up 13 yellow cards and 52 fouls in the same stretch, a sign they are chasing games rather than dictating them. That disciplinary gap should translate into set-piece chances for Barcelona and, perhaps, an early red card risk for a stretched Delfin backline.

Team Analysis
Barcelona SC’s most recent outing ended 1-1 against Sociedad Deportiva Aucas, a result that snapped a run of two straight wins over Independiente del Valle and Orense sandwiched around a surprise 0-2 loss to Manta. The draw showed some inconsistency in front of goal, but their underlying numbers, 69 shots and 28 corners across the last five matches, remain strong, and to be honest that Manta defeat looks like an outlier rather than a trend.
Delfin’s last match brought a 0-1 loss away to Universidad Catolica, continuing a pattern of narrow defeats that has defined their season. They did manage a 1-0 win over Tecnico Universitario two games back, but sandwiched around it are losses to Mushuc Runa and Aucas by the same 0-1 scoreline. Scoring just one goal in five matches is the clearest signal of their struggles, and nothing in their recent schedule suggests that changes here.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Barcelona SC the favourite
- Moneyline Barcelona SC 1.60 | Delfin 5.50
- Draw 3.55
The market prices Barcelona SC as heavy favourites, and the numbers back that up. A price around 1.60 reflects their home dominance and the size of the gap between the two sides on current form. Draw odds near 3.55 offer some value only if you expect Delfin to sit deep and frustrate, which has not been their pattern lately given how often they concede first.
Possible Starting Lineups
Barcelona SC possible starting eleven
- GK: José Luis Angulo
- DF: Alex Daniel Rangel Corozo, Byron Castillo, Christian Javier Báez, Exon Gustavo Vallecilla
- MF: Jhonny Quinonez, Tomás Martínez, Matias Gonzalo Lugo, Jefferson Intriago, Johan Garcia
- FW: Tomás Rodríguez
Trobbiani’s likely 4-2-3-1 leans on the same core group that started the last five matches. Tomás Rodríguez, with two goals and 15 shots in that span, is the player to watch up front, while Christian Javier Báez anchors a defense that has logged 450 minutes without missing a beat.
Delfin possible starting eleven
- GK: Brian Heras
- DF: Ober Medina, Anthony Bedoya Caicedo, Bryan Hernandez, Darío Aimar
- MF: Gerónimo Heredia, Thiago Ozaeta, Luis Armando Castro Garzón, Jefferson Arce, Ayrton Cisneros
- FW: Franco Ayunta
Juan Carlos León also sets up in a 4-2-3-1. Franco Ayunta is the lone recognized striker with regular minutes, but his six offsides in four games show a team still searching for cohesion up top. Bedoya Caicedo remains the one attacking outlet from deep, having scored from the back line recently.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Barcelona SC should have enough in attack and control to see off a Delfin side that has scored once in its last five games and sits deep in the relegation zone conversation. We expect a routine home win, likely by two goals, with Barcelona’s set-piece and shot volume advantage doing most of the damage. Delfin’s tendency to concede early, shown across three of their last five results, makes an early Barcelona goal a real possibility, and that usually opens these games up further in the second half.
