Betting on Cumbaya
Last season, Cumbaya managed to avoid relegation and finished in 14th place in the overall standings. The Lions are now aiming to continue racking up points to potentially secure a spot in the privileged positions that grant access to the upcoming Copa Sudamericana.
They started the current season on the right foot, currently sitting in ninth place with only three losses in eight matches. However, it is important to mention that they remain undefeated at home and have only conceded one goal.
The only negative aspect is that they have gone two matches without securing a win, with a defeat against Aucas away by a score of 2-1 and a draw at home against Mushuc Runa by a score of 1-1.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Leonel Nazareno; Juan Carlos Paredes, Teodoro Paredes, Arian Pucheta, Pablo Cifuentes, Marcelo Mantilla; Hancel Batalla, Rommel Tapia, Antonio Escobar; Diego Hurtado, Agustín Mazeiro.
Betting on Emelec
The historic Ecuadorian team hasn’t started off on the right foot. They’ve only managed to secure two victories and are currently on a five-game winless streak, which is unacceptable for one of Ecuador’s most important teams.
To add to their struggles, in the Copa Sudamericana, they only have one win in their past eight matches, highlighting the crisis the club is going through. Additionally, they haven’t been able to win any of their four away games in the league (three losses and one draw).
As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve conceded seven of 12 goals playing away. Another problem is their inability to pull off comebacks when they start their matches at disadvantage, having only scored four goals while playing away.
In their last game, they lost 2-3 to Independiente del Valle at home. Nevertheless, the result is deceiving because the game should have ended by a score of 4-1. Fortunately for Emelec, Carlos Villalba’s 97th minute goal made up for a heavy result.
Possible Lineup (3-5-1-1): Pedro Ortiz; Cain Fara, Anibal Leguizamon, Luis Leon; Edgar Lastre, Jhon Sanchez, Cristhian Valencia, Jose Cevallos, Bryan Carabali; Leonardo Chenche; Alejandro Cabeza.
JefeBet Prediction
Emelec hasn’t been performing well while playing as visitors and they’re up against an excellent home team, a perfect combination for Cumbayá’s victory. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a great victory for the home team.
