Emelec - Olimpia

Copa Sudamericana

The match from the first leg was one of the better ones I've seen lately, and it really kept me up. Fast pace, fast transition from one area to another, and even though there weren't a ton of clear-cut chances, the ball always went towards the offense, and both teams looked dangerous enough. Vladimir Marin was without a doubt the man of the match, thanks to his goals that have put Olimpia as favorites for qualification. For this re-match, both teams should be coming in equal conditions. Both have had a good rest, since their league matches were postponed, and they should repeat the line-ups from last week, since there are no new injuries or suspensions. So there's no reason to believe that this affair should be a boring one. Emelec always favors the attack, always goes forward with the ball, and this should be no exception, as they need to score at least once. Meanwhile, Olimpia can be deadly on the counter attacks, but I don't think they'll just sit and wait. They also like offensive football, and have the right players to cause some damage. So I'm expecting a similar match to the one last week, hopefully with some more goals, but I doubt we'll see less than 3. GL!
