Deportivo Cuenca - Macara

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

The First Round of the Ecuadorian Serie A is entering it's final days, and while there are several teams that are fighting to get the ticket to the final, I'm setting my eyes on a different match, between two teams that are far from the title fight. Cuenca still has some chances, as with a win today they will be at least 3 points behind the leaders, with 2 rounds remaining. But with 6 teams fighting for the top position, it will be very hard for them to achieve it, as they would need a perfect run, and also a lot of luck. But a position for Copa Sudamericana (must finish in top 3 for this) is more than achievable. For today they will miss top scorer Laurito (11/7), so this will make things harder for them, but Chala (4/2) should get up to the challenge. Meanwhile, Manta don't have any immediate objectives, although all points should count, as they are one of the main favorites to relegate. Their away for has been awful, managing only 3 draws in 9 matches, and they also have 5 consecutive games without a win. Today they will also miss their regular goalkeeper Mora (15), their defender Gonzalez (15/1) and midfielder Lastra (16/1), so we should see an even weaker team than usual. Cuenca is solid at home, so they should win this by at least a minimum difference. GL!

Cuenca (-0.75 AH) @ 1.95, 3/10
Result: 0-2, LOST
