Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa
Big match in Ecuador tonight. Besides being a Clasico of Ecuador, it is also a match that could decide who takes it's place in the final, as both teams are tied on second place with 31 points, 1 point behind surprising leaders LDU Loja. And both are in good form coming into this match, and they should also be fit, as the league had a 2 weeks-break. Form-wise, Barcelona recovered after a very poor run of form, when they played twice against LDU Quito, twice against Deportivo Quito and one against Emelec, failing to win any of those matches. And those are the matches that count, because even though they recovered their form, they did so against teams like Macara, Manta or Olmedo. Meanwhile, Emelec comes into this game from a 3-0 spanking of LDU Quito, so they proved they can play well against the big teams, and they also look like a much more solid team than Barcelona. Also, today's visitors will have a host of absences: midfielders Oyola (4/1) and Amaya (8/1), laterals Ibarra (2/0) and Cruz (6/0), and forwards Michael Jackson (11/3). Some of them are quite important players for Barcelona, so I'll have to give the edge to Emelec. GL!
Emelec (-0.25 AH) @ 1.95, 4/10
Result: 0-1, LOST
