Deportivo Quito - Espoli

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

I have two matches from Ecuador, both of them with very high chances as finishing with a home win, and even with  big score. First of all, we have Deportivo Quito, who are the undefeated leaders of the league after winning their 2 matches against some lesser teams before drawing with some of the big names (Emelec and Deportivo Cuenca). As mentioned previously, Deportivo have made a lot of transfers during the break, most of them being very well known players, and they have integrated perfectly in the team, and that is visible from the results. What is even more encouraging is their style of play, always looking for the goal, and always moving the ball towards the opponent's area as fast as possible. Full squad is expected today, with the only absence being that of defender Campos, but otherwise, everyone is ready to go. Espoli haven't enjoyed their start of the season too much, as they only have 1 point after 4 matches, and regardless of today's result, coach Calderon is on his way out, and will be replaced next week. Espoli so far has lost with Emelec and Deportivo Cuenca (teams that have finished level wit Deportivo), and also at home with newly promoted Liga de Loja. In head-to-head matches, Deportivo Quito are on a run of 6 consecutive victories, and the last time they failed to win a game on their home ground was back in 2006. And judging by both team's form, I see no reason why their winning run against Espoli will not continue. GL!
