Barcelona - Olmedo

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

Time for a new Barcelona to show it's face tonight. They had an awful start of the season, but since they changed their coach 2 weeks ago, they have started to show some improvements, winning away at Independiente, and drew at home with the same team, but being equalized only after having a man sent off. Still not enough from them, but they will start gathering points soon, as that 7th place they're in doesn't do them any justice. And they should really win this match, and here are the reasons for that: first of all, as already mentioned, there has been a slight improvement with the new coach, and I believe their game will only get better. Secondly, one month ago, when Insua was still coach, Olmedo pulverized Barcelona with a shocking 4-0, so the revenge factor should be deep within the players minds. Finally, Olmedo are one of the worst travelers in the league, having just 4 points won after 6 matches, and this run includes losses against 'super' teams like Independiente and Imbabura. Odds not so great for this bet, but I can't see Barcelona losing again. GL!

Barcelona (-0.75 AH) @ 1.83, 3/10
Result: 4-0, WON
