Game Prediction
The upcoming week will bring international matches. However, prior to that, there is the customary hiatus in games, providing an opportunity to turn attention to non-elite tournaments, such as the Ecuadorian championship. In this context, the leaders, Barcelona Guayaquil, are set to visit Emelec. What resistance can the ambitious hosts offer to the favorites? The specialists at the site have scrutinized this fixture and formulated a forecast for the match on November 13, 2023.
Emelec struggles to reclaim the summit.
In 2017, the "Electricians" secured their fourteenth championship title. However, the grandeur diminished progressively in Ecuadorian football thereafter. The previous season resulted in only a sixth-place finish in the national Serie A. Currently, the outcomes are even more modest. Although they progressed to the Copa Sudamericana round of 16, where they succumbed to Defense and Justice, their domestic campaign faced prolonged challenges. Despite a late resurgence with two victories and seven points in the last four matches, the "Blues" have merely ascended to the top ten in the current standings.
Barcelona Guayaquil strives to validate its resounding name through results.
"The Idols of the Pier" managed to reach the Copa Libertadores final twice, albeit finishing as runners-up in 1990 and 1998. In 2020, they secured their sixteenth title, a national record in Ecuador. However, subsequent seasons were rather mediocre. In 2022, a fifth-place Serie A finish and defeat in the playoff final marked their performance. However, there are currently genuinely positive results. Diego Lopez's proteges lead the standings, outpacing all, including their perennial rival, LDU Quito. They exhibit impressive form, securing six victories in seven matches, including three consecutive wins.
Previous encounters
Emelec has only suffered defeat to Barcelona Guayaquil once in the last six encounters, which occurred in the fall of the previous year. In June, they managed to retaliate with a 3-1 victory in away fixtures.
