Barcelona - Deportivo Cuenca

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

One of the teams that lead one of the most aggressive transfer campaigns in the league, alongside LDU Quito, Barcelona will launch their title challenge tonight, against Deportivo Cuenca. Barcelona spent a lot of money, and transferred some good players, trying to get their way back to winning ways, and this year they are seriously being seen as title contenders. Besides their great form with which they ended last season (won 12 of the 22 matches from the Segunda Etapa), today we will see the debuts of defenders Erazo (from El Nacional) and Jairo Campos (previously in LDU, Atletico Mineiro and Deportivo Quito). In midfield we'll see Amaya, freshly crowned Colombian champion with Junior, while in attack will play Narciso Mina (awesome 2011 for him, with 28 goals scored for Independiente Jose Teran) and Luguercio, who came from Racing Club of Argentina. Cuenca has instead opted to go with pretty much the same team as last season, along a few new signings, but none of them can be considered a key transfer. And since last year Cuenca were rather unstable, I don't expect many things from them this year either. Barcelona's squad looks very good, and they should kick-off their campaign with a win. GL!

Barcelona (-0.75 AH) @ 1.91, 3/10
Result: 3-1, WON
