Copa Libertadores
Deporitvo lost the first leg 0-2, so now they have a lot of work to do, and even so, their qualification hopes are looking dim. One thing is certain though, and it would have been certain regardless of the first leg result: Deportivo Quito are going to attack. That means a total change from last weeks' line-up, where they played with just 1 striker and went looking for a draw. The good news is that both Rodas and Perea (new signing that made history with Leon de Huanuco last year) will be starters, so that should normally be a boost for the team. They are very good players, they know each other, and should cause some havoc for the Argentinian defense. Independiente surely won't come to Quito to pose as the victim, as they showed it last year, against LDU in Sudamericana. They went 3-0 down then, but made a good and solid match before the first goal, and also had the strength to score two goals. They showed nice attitude, and I expect the same tonight, as 9 of those 11 players will play today as well. And they also have a few players that can be deadly on the counter attack, as Defederico, Silvera and Parra could cause some real damage to any team. The worst case scenario is that Independiente will score first, but I trust Deportivo Quito's power and ability to put pressure, and I'm sure we'll be seeing a few goals here. GL!
over 2.5 goals @ 2.10, 3/10
Result: 1-0, LOST
