⭐ Editor's Pick
It is hard to pick an obvious favourite in this match. Both teams are in a dire position. That said, home advantage could come to the fore. When opponents like these meet, the support of the stands matters enormously. Emelec may hold the initiative at certain moments. But that is unlikely to lead to an unusually high-scoring game. For most of the match, the two sides will be battling hard across every part of the pitch. In our editorial view, clear-cut chances will be few and far between. We recommend taking a look at the total under 2.5 goals.
