Ibarra Olympic Stadium will host the clash between Imbabura SC and Cumbayá FC on June 25, 2025, at 22:00 GMT, as part of Matchday 15 in Ecuador’s Serie B. Both teams sit in the lower part of the standings and are in urgent need of points to stay alive in the race for the promotion hexagonal.
Imbabura: No promotion chances, but still under pressure to earn points
The home side is going through a difficult moment, sitting in 11th place with 11 points, the result of 2 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses in 14 matches played. Over their last three games, they have recorded one win and two losses. Statistically, Imbabura have scored 18 goals—an impressive figure that places them among the highest-scoring teams in the league—but they have conceded 20, leaving them with a goal difference of -2.
With no mathematical chances of reaching the promotion hexagonal—even a win would not allow them to surpass 10th place, which currently has 15 points—the team plays for pride, to build its squad for the future, and above all, to avoid financial sanctions like those imposed in 2024 on the teams that finished at the bottom. This match is an opportunity to earn points and move away from last place.
Cumbayá FC: Still in the race with ground left to make up
The visitors are in 8th place with 16 points from 13 matches, having recorded 4 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses. They are currently on a poor run, failing to win any of their last five matches, with 2 draws and 3 defeats. In terms of offensive production, they have scored 14 goals and conceded 16, matching Imbabura with a goal difference of -2.
Unlike Imbabura, Cumbayá still have a mathematical chance of making it into the promotion hexagonal: they are just 3 points away from 6th place and also have a game in hand against Los Leones del Norte, currently in third. This match represents a key opportunity to close the gap and stay in the race for a spot in the final stage.
