Deportivo Cuenca Juniors vs Cuniburo: match statistics

Deportivo Cuenca Juniors are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three of them and keeping a clean sheet in every game during that period, while Cuniburo have lost three of their last five fixtures. At home, the hosts win 56% of their matches and concede just 0.56 goals on average, while their 67% clean-sheet rate should limit a visiting attack that scores only 0.67 goals per away game. Cuenca Juniors also hold the edge in the quality of chances created: the hosts’ average xG stands at 1.40, compared with just 0.72 for Cuniburo. Away from home, the visitors average 4.57 shots and 2.14 shots on target, compared with 11.33 attempts and 4.33 shots on target for the hosts. A draw remains a realistic outcome, as both teams draw 33% of their matches under the respective conditions, but a narrow home win is the more likely result.

The BTTS - No pick is supported by the league’s low-scoring profile, with both teams averaging just 1.87 goals per match and BTTS occurring in 37% of fixtures. Cuniburo scores only 0.67 goals away from home with an xG of 0.72, averaging 4.57 shots and just 2.14 on target, which significantly limits their chances of scoring. Deportivo Cuenca Juniors have also kept a clean sheet in 40% of their matches this season and have not conceded a single goal in their last five games. The home side are favourites to score, but their recent average of 0.6 goals and a BTTS rate of 0% across their last five matches further point towards a scenario in which at least one team fails to score.

The strongest signal comes from the low goal ceiling: 90% of the home teams’ matches and all Cuniburo fixtures finished with fewer than 3.5 goals. Cuniburo average just 0.67 goals, register 4.57 shots per match and have an xG of 0.72, while Deportivo Cuenca Juniors concede an average of 0.8 goals. The hosts’ last five outings were particularly tight, scoring just 3 goals in total, conceding none, and with no match exceeding the 2.5-goal line. The home side have greater attacking potential, averaging 1.7 goals and 1.58 xG, but the visitors concede just 1.0 goal on average, limiting the prospects of a high-scoring game. The projected total of 1.70 goals points primarily to a controlled match, making Under 3.5 the clear value.

The strongest scenario is Deportivo Cuenca Juniors leading at the break and maintaining their advantage to secure the win, as the home side were ahead at half-time in 60% of their matches, compared with just 13% for Cuniburo. The hosts score an average of 1.70 goals per match, while the visitors average only 0.67, and their xG stands at 1.58 versus Cuniburo’s 0.72. The difference in chance creation is clear: Deportivo average 13.1 shots and 4.9 on target, compared with 4.57 and 2.14 respectively for their opponents. Cuniburo were level at half-time in as many as 75% of their matches, but they also failed to score before the break in 75% of cases, which favours a narrow lead for the home side. In addition, Deportivo keep a clean sheet in 40% of their matches, while Cuniburo fail to score in 44%, so the hosts’ advantage should remain secure after the interval as well.
