**Manta FC and Delfín SC currently sit at the foot of the 2026 LigaPro Serie A relegation hexagonal with the fewest carried-over points (21 and 27) and the worst goal differences, making them the clearest candidates for Serie B.** The bottom six teams from the just-concluding first stage advance to this additional round-robin starting September 20, where points and goal difference are retained and the two lowest finishers drop. Técnico Universitario, Orense, Deportivo Cuenca, and Mushuc Runa occupy the middle of the group with modest buffers, while recent results show Manta and Delfín struggling for wins and clean sheets. Traders price the outcome on the remaining schedule, home/away splits within the group, and any late roster or motivation shifts before the December conclusion.
