Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa
Hard times for Emelec. They had a long and exhausting season, and even after their knock-out from Copa Libertadores, they still can not find a breath, as they also had some postponed matches to take care of them. So a lot of players are feeling really tired, and this also lead to some injuries: defender Carlos Quinonez (3 appearances) and forward Mondaini (13/2 goals). But the problems are even bigger, as Emelec also has a lot of players suspended: defender Bagui (12), midfielder Pedro Quinonez (13) and offensive midfielder Valencia (12/5). So that makes 4 key players that won't be able to play tonight, and a lot of tiredness for the rest of the regulars, and Tecnico Universitario might be able to take advantage of this situation. They are second from bottom, so they need points as air, and even though their performances are usually poor, at home they can keep some close results (made a draw with LDU, and one with Barcelona, 2-3 months ago). They don't have important absences, and if they can keep their focus and play a smart game, they might be able to steal some points from a decimated Emelec. GL!
Tecnico U (+0.25 AH) @ 1.86, 3/10
Result: 2-3, LOST
