The final round of the phase puts Trujillanos' survival fight against La Guaira's push for a better placing.

La Guaira are the stronger side and have won the last two meetings, but they have lost five of seven at home, so they remain likelier to win without it being a formality. Only one quoted price offers an edge: Trujillanos to win at 6.5. La Guaira at 1.4 and Over 2.5 at 1.67 ask for more than the record supports.

Context

Trujillanos cannot treat the trip to La Guaira as a neutral final fixture. A point or a win would keep them clear of Anzoátegui, but a defeat opens the door for Anzoátegui to survive by winning away to Zamora. That pressure should shape how high and how aggressively Trujillanos can commit, against a La Guaira side that still has its own position to defend. The margin and the two closing fixtures come from accumulated-table summaries, and the tiebreaker if the clubs finish level is not established in the available reporting.
- Trujillanos sat one point above the relegation place in late September with two rounds left, facing Puerto Cabello and then visiting La Guaira, while Anzoátegui faced Carabobo and Zamora (25 Sep 2026).
- Going into the final round only Anzoátegui FC and Trujillanos were still fighting relegation in the accumulated table (12 Oct 2026).
- Anzoátegui needed to win away to Zamora and for Trujillanos to drop points against La Guaira (11 Oct 2026).
- Trujillanos held a one-point advantage over Anzoátegui ahead of their trip to La Guaira (13 Oct 2026).

La Guaira's continental berth is already banked, but the final position still carries meaning. A win over Trujillanos can move them up the accumulated table and improve their international standing, so the fixture is not dead for the hosts either. That gives the match a two-sided incentive: Trujillanos are chasing survival while La Guaira chase placement. The Sudamericana certainty comes from the competition's own account; the exact final position still depends on results elsewhere in the round.
- La Guaira had already secured a Copa Sudamericana berth through the accumulated table, a position improvable by overtaking Táchira or winning the Clausura (22 Sep 2026).
- The final matchday sends La Guaira into the home fixture against Trujillanos with their place among the top eight and their international standing at stake (13 Oct 2026).

A change of head coach this late in the phase resets selection and tactical priorities, and Rodríguez has had only one match to install them. La Guaira are unbeaten under him after the Portuguesa draw, but that single match is a thin basis for judging how he will set the team up for this pivotal fixture. The appointment and his return to the club are officially sourced; no confirmed squad or formation change accompanies it in the available evidence.
- Deportivo La Guaira announced on 30 September 2026 that Héctor Pablo Bidoglio and his staff were leaving the first team by mutual agreement.
- On 1 October 2026 the club announced Mariano Rodríguez would take immediate charge of the first team and described him as returning to La Guaira.
- The club recorded the debut of Mariano Rodríguez and his coaching staff following a 0-0 draw at Portuguesa (10 October 2026).

La Guaira took the 25 April 2026 fixture 1-0 on Trujillanos' ground, their third win in the last five meetings between the sides. The wider series is not one-sided: Trujillanos won 2-1 at La Guaira in October 2020 and held them to a 0-0 draw in August 2020. Those meetings are spread from 2019 to 2026, so the recent edge belongs to La Guaira without making the fixture one-way.
- 25 April 2026: Trujillanos 0-1 Deportivo La Guaira in Primera División.
- 22 November 2020: Trujillanos 0-2 Deportivo La Guaira in Primera División.
- 20 October 2020: Deportivo La Guaira 1-2 Trujillanos; 9 August 2020: Deportivo La Guaira 0-0 Trujillanos; 19 November 2019: Deportivo La Guaira 2-0 Trujillanos.
