Deportivo Cuenca - CD Espoli

Ecuador Segunda Etapa

Low odds on this one, but I doubt Cuenca will let the win go past them. They seem to be the only ones capable of putting some pressure on the leaders at the moment, and with LDU's schedule getting more and more tight, Cuenca has some real chances to play the final again. Their recent form, especially on home ground, doesn't seem to be too encouraging, but you have to look against whom they played, because 2 draws, one against leaders LDU, and the other one against Emelec are always good results. And finally, they seem to have broken the drawing run, with a good performance this week at U Catolica. Full team for them today, with the exception of youngster Narvaez, who is injured.

Espoli still have a long road to pass in order to avoid relegation, and it's going to be very tough. Their hopes lie in their pretty solid home performances, because in away games, with only 2 victories, they can't expect too much, especially since every time they have visited one of the main contenders for the title, they have lost with a solid difference in goals. Cuenca has found it's form, and I expect them to unleash it against poor Espoli. Handicaps could also be tried, once they become available. GL!
