Copa Libertadores
Early bet for this match, as the lines and odds will surely drop a lot before kick-off. For this match, we'll have a Jorge Wilstermann side in the same situation as last week against Jaguares. The team plays in the Bolivian Second Division, despite winning the Apertura 2010. The tournament hasn't started yet, so last week's match in Mexico was the first official match of the year for them. They have a lot of new players, signed in the last 3 weeks, so very little time to make a team, and all of those players are relatively unknown. They lost 0-2 in Mexico, against a Jaguares side that doesn't scare too many people, so in Ecuador, they should have an even tougher time against Emelec. Los Electricos had a week off, after postponing their league game against Barcelona, so they had plenty of time to recover after the 1-1 draw against Internacional of Brazil. Emelec have a much more offensive style than the Mexicans, so it will be interesting to see how Wilstermann will cope with the pressure. I'm honestly very surprised to see a lower handicap line than last week, because as I've said, Emelec has more firepower than Jaguares, and more flow in their game, so I expect a bigger score line this time. That is why I'm going with high stakes on this one, as the current line/odds represent value, especially compared to the lines that will be available before kick-off. GL!
Emelec (-1.75 AH) @ 1.84, 7/10
Result: 1-0, LOST
