Ecuador Serie A, Segunda Etapa
The Ecuadorian league is entering it's last quarter, so now it's really time to make or break.And Emelec isn't going very well at the moment, so they need to find some form before season's final. The last couple of weeks have give Carrasco one slap in the face after another. In addition to being knocked-out from the Copa Sudamericana by Olimpia Asuncion (match in which the fans asked the coach to leave), they followed that disapointment with a huge, shamefull result, as Independiente pulverized them with an unbelivable 5-0. But since the format of this league is mirror-like, Emelec now has the chance to take it's vengeance on Independiente, after only one week. All the players look focused, and everybody at the club is vowing to avenge last week's humiliation. And this is also probably Carrasco's last chance to remain at the helm of the club, as after the fans, the directors also seem to be losing confidence in him. 3 defenders will be left out of the squad, by technical decision: Quinonez, Quiroz and Edison Mendez. Meanwhile, Independiente will have to do without central defender Ayovi (suspended), while the other central defender, Mustafa, is doubtful. Before last week, Independiente has never won with Emelec, and I seriously doubt that will happen again soon. Emelec will be out looking for blood, and since their home form is very good (3-2-0, goal difference of 11-1), I'm quite confident they'll wash the shame with a solid performance. GL!
Emelec (-0.75 AH) @ 1.86, 4/10
Result: 2-0, WON
