Tecnico Universitario - Barcelona

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

As I said last week, Barcelona was one of the teams that had a very aggressive transfer campaign, and I consider them one of the title favorites for this season. And their status as favorites was demonstrated in their opening match of the season, where they kept going with their great for from last season, beating Cuenca 3-1, despite leaving it late, scoring the winning goals in the closing stage of the game. Same squad is expected for them, except Matamoros who has been sent off against Cuenca, so expect an attempt to dominate the match, as a draw against a newly promoted team wouldn't really suit their aspirations. Tecnico Univeristario didn't show much in the first round, despite snatching a 0-0 draw away at El Nacional. All they did was defense, and they can be considered quite lucky to have come away with a point, as they were dominated throughout the match. Barcelona has definitely more quality, and with the handicap set a bit lower than I expected (-0.25 would have seemed fairer), this bet should be a void in the worst case. GL!

Barcelona DNB @ 1.74, 3/10
Result: 1-1, VOID
