Two of La Guaira's most recent five matches ended in draws, and the team went on to win three of those matches overall. They drew a stalemate in two of their matches against Carabobo and Mineros, but they won all three of their matches against Caracas, Rayo Zuliano, and Angostura. They have scored a total of seven goals over these contests while only allowing themselves to be outscored by four. They will enter this encounter with the intention of bringing home a victory by virtue of playing it on their home turf.

The most recent match that Puerto Cabello played was against Angostura, and they won 2-0 at home in a match that was competitive. This victory brought their winning streak to three in a row. They had also won two consecutive matches prior to the encounter, one against Hermanos Colmenarez and the other against Monagas. On the other hand, they were defeated in both of their encounters with Caracas and Dep. Tachira. During these matches, they have scored seven goals while only allowing three to be scored against them. They will head into this match with the goal of extending their winning streak on the road to four matches by claiming victory here.

According to the results of their most recent five matchups against one another, both sides have been successful in scoring against one another in two of those matches, and in one of those matches, they have finished with more than two goals scored. There were two matches in which neither side won, two matches in which La Guira prevailed, and one match in which Puerto prevailed.

Because both teams possess the ability to capitalize on set pieces and counterattacks, it is expected that this game will witness goals from both sides. While the defensive setups of both teams are robust, the potential for each team to score remains, whether through a stroke of brilliance or a momentary defensive lapse, even if the overall goal count is limited.

It is reasonable to predict that both teams will approach this encounter with a high degree of prudence in the hope of avoiding defeat. It is expected that defensive strategies will take the lead early on, which will lead to a first half with minimal opportunities for goal scoring and possibly a stalemate.
