Barcelona - Deportivo Quito

Ecuador Serie A, Segunda Etapa

Barcelona comes after quite a hard match in Venezuela, and with the players' fitness in mind, they will take a very careful approach to this game. This means that we will see a lot of rotations tonight, with many regulars being rested. And if what we saw in the training sessions can be trusted, only defender Erazo will play a part in today's game. Besides him, we will see 3 more players that are usually regulars: defender Perlaza (14/1), midfielders Caicedo (16/4) and Diaz (21/1). Other than them, Barcelona will use fringe players, that rarely get to see some action, and none of those players started more than 10 matches this year. This obviously greatly increases Deportivo's chances to take something out of this game, despite their overall poor season so far. However, they should be getting some confidence back, as they did manage a 0-0 draw against LDU Quito, on Wednesday. They have also not lost this season against Barcelona, snatching a point in another 0-0 draw, back in April, when Barcelona was at full strength, so I don't see why they couldn't do it today as well. GL!

Deportivo (+0.75 AH) @ 1.65, 4/10
Result: 1-0, HALF-LOST
