Manta - Deportivo Quito

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

A clash that will have no impact on the tables, but it could mean a good win for the home team. They are in great form, coming after 3 consecutive wins (including a 2-0 victory at Emelec), so another win will make Manta continue this trend. And they could very well take the 3 points against a troubled Deportivo Quito side. The visitors had an awful season, sitting only on 9th place, so all hopes of achieving something are long gone. They will also miss a lot of players today: GK Elizaga (7 appearances), midfielders Saritama (13/1), Bolanos (12/1) and Paredes (7/0), plus defender Checa (11/1) are all out of this game. Moreover, the remaining players will be alternated, so we'll see some of the less used players today, for example midfielder W. Folleco (2/0) and forward Congo (2/1). More good news for this bet is the fact that top-scorer Alustiza will most likely not appear in the starting line-up. Manta will also miss two players (Sanchez and Ayovi), but they are not key players, so they should be well replaced. Besides this, they will recover defender Romana, so for sure that should provide a boost for the team. Statistics are also on our side, as Manta have also won the first match, as visitors, back in February, and in the last 4 seasons that they were in Serie A, Deportivo only won once as visitors, with Manta winning 7 of their 9 home games against Deportivo. GL!

Manta (-0.25 AH) @ 1.99, 4/10
Result: 1-2, LOST
