El Nacional close a relegated Serie B season with a home record of one win and five goals in 11 league games, against a Gualaceo side that has conceded once in six away matches.

A narrow game with Gualaceo the likelier winner, and a draw no shock, is the read. Three reviewed prices carry potential value: both teams to score – No at 2.00, Under 2.5 goals at 2.00 and Under 1.5 first-half goals at 1.48.

Context

The sample runs from 24 July to 17 October 2026, a short but strikingly frugal run in which five of the six away matches ended without Gualaceo conceding. El Nacional have scored five goals in 11 home league games this season, so a visiting defence of that shape is a serious obstacle. Six matches is a small base, and El Nacional's 5-2 win at 22 de Julio on 7 October shows they can still produce a burst.
- Six away matches between 24 July and 17 October 2026: three wins, two draws, one defeat.
- Four goals scored and one conceded across those six away matches.
- Five clean sheets in six away matches.
That home record sits inside a wider campaign of two wins, six draws and 14 defeats from 22 matches, leaving El Nacional bottom of the 12-team table on 12 points. The hosts have scored five times at home all season, an average of 0.45 goals per home league game. Gualaceo's away solidity is the obvious obstacle, though their own away scoring is modest at 1.0 goal per match across six.
- Home league record: 11 matches played, one win, four draws, six defeats.
- Five goals scored and 10 conceded in those 11 home league matches.
- Overall league record: 22 matches, two wins, six draws, 14 defeats, 15 scored and 32 conceded, 12 points.
The LigaPro council decision reported by Estadio and futbolecuador.com ratified El Nacional’s move to Segunda Categoría, while current local coverage identifies Gualaceo as their Serie B finale. That removes relegation survival as a live stake for the hosts and makes this a closing fixture for the campaign. No verified matchday squad, availability or tactical information was found in the available X results.
- Estadio reported on 30 September that the LigaPro presidents’ council retained the Serie B format for 2027 and ratified El Nacional’s relegation.
- futbolecuador.com also reported that the confirmed 2027 Serie B system sealed El Nacional’s relegation.
- Local El Nacional coverage identified Gualaceo as the club’s final Serie B opponent on 27 October.

That result is the clearest recent marker between the sides, and it came with El Nacional failing to score. This fixture reverses the venue, and the July meeting at El Nacional finished 0-0, so the home side has yet to find the net against Gualaceo this season. It also shows how quickly the game can get away from El Nacional once they fall behind.
- Gualaceo 3-0 El Nacional, Liga Pro Serie B, 29 August 2026.
