Copa Sudamericana 2011
Copa Sudamericana 2011 has just started, and if in the first day there were no winners, I'm sure that is bound to change today. Deportivo Quito will be opening today's round, as they will be looking to continue their great recent run of form. They have played in the first 3 rounds of the Ecuadorian championship, and they have been looking like a very solid team, and should be front-runners in this Second Stage. And the style of their wins has also been very impressive, as they have a goal difference of 8-0, without the help of their veteran goalkeeper Marcelo Elizaga, who will also miss today's game. But, everyone else should be up for the job, including striker Bevacqua, who is the league's top scorer. Venezuelan football isn't great, despite an extraordinary performance of the national team in Copa America, but there's a clear difference between national team level and club level. Venezuelan clubs are among the poorest on the continent, and I expect Anzoategui to struggle tonight. They should minimize the effects of the altitude, as they trained a lot on higher ground for this match, but they will also miss Vizcarrondo (played in Copa America), as he wasn't included on the list.Anzoategui are poor travelers usually, and against a team with power and good form, they should be struggling. GL!
Deportivo Quito (-1 AH) @ 1.76, 4/10
Result: 1-0, VOID
