Context

This match is part of Serie B's relegation hexagonal, where each club plays 10 matches and the bottom two are relegated.
Both Santo Domingo and Cumbayá are directly involved in the survival phase, so dropped points carry immediate relegation risk. The structure shapes game management: a draw may be more acceptable than usual, but a loss is costly. The reported assignment from Ecuavisa on 14 August places this fixture in that decisive stage.
- Ecuavisa reported on 14 August that Santo Domingo and Cumbayá were assigned to the second-stage relegation hexagonal.
- The report states that each club plays 10 matches in the phase and that the bottom two teams are relegated.

Santo Domingo is 8th in Liga Pro Serie B with 28 points from 22 matches.
At home, Santo Domingo has won 5, drawn 5, and lost only 1 of 11 matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding just 4. This strong home form suggests they are difficult to break down on their own pitch. Cumbaya has struggled away, winning only 2 of 11 away matches, so Santo Domingo's home advantage could be significant.
- Santo Domingo home record: 5 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss in 11 matches.
- Santo Domingo has conceded only 4 goals at home this season.
- Cumbaya away record: 2 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses in 11 matches.
Santo Domingo's full-back José Monaga left the club immediately before this match and joined Manta FC, as reported by El Universo on 1 September.
Monaga's departure removes a defensive option on the flank, forcing Santo Domingo to adjust their back line. The report identifies him as an Ecuadorian full-back signed by Manta to reinforce their defence, but it does not specify who will replace him. The reshuffle could affect defensive stability, though the extent depends on the available cover.
- El Universo reported on 1 September that Monaga had ended his link with Deportivo Santo Domingo and joined Manta FC.
- The report identified Monaga as an Ecuadorian full-back signed by Manta to reinforce its defence.

Cumbaya is 10th in Liga Pro Serie B with 26 points from 22 matches.
Cumbaya has won 2, drawn 4, and lost 5 of 11 away matches, scoring only 7 goals and conceding 10. Their away form is much weaker than their home form, where they have lost only once. This suggests they may find it difficult to get a result at Santo Domingo.
- Cumbaya away record: 2 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses in 11 matches.
- Cumbaya has scored only 7 goals in 11 away matches.
- Cumbaya home record: 3 wins, 7 draws, 1 loss in 11 matches.
