Emelec - Manta

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

Emelec is definitely the best team in Ecuador at the moment, and they seem to have come from another planet. They employ an offensive style of play, taking a lot of balls forward, and that usually pays of, as they have managed to score 15 goals in 6 games (best attack in the league, even though they have a match postponed). Even in their last match, despite appearing to have struggled, winning 1-0 in the last seconds of the game, they dominated throughout the match, and missed several chances before the late goal. And even though they never needed a confidence boost, they got one. Manta have been surprising so far, but they should thank the home advantage for that (before this match, they have the best home record). But they seem like a totally different team when it comes to traveling, and they are still to win a match away from home, having lost at LDU Quito and U Catolica, after drawing at Barcelona. They've had some tough matches, that's true, but it won't get any easier with Emelec, and I expect a comfortable win for the hosts. GL!

Emelec (-1 AH) @ 1.74, 4/10
Result: 1-0, VOID
