Delfin SC vs Aucas Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Saturday’s Ecuadorian Serie A action features an interesting clash between Delfin and Aucas. The hosts will be looking to maintain their strong home performances in order to pick up the three points.

With this the final game of the opening phase of league action, Delfin can look back on what’s been a reasonably solid campaign thus far. Whilst they haven’t quite hit the notes of last season, in which they incredibly made it all the way to the overall league final, they’ve still performed quite well for a club of their size, currently standing 5th with a 32 point haul from 21 games.

Said standing ensures they go into the closing phase of the season with a real chance of securing continental football on the overall, aggregate table and that’s something a win in this clash would certainly help towards. Arriving off the back of a rare, but dominant, 3-0 away victory at El Nacional, Fabian Bustos’ troops certainly take to the field high on confidence as they strive to build on a fantastic home record that reads 8 wins from the last 10 outings.

Meanwhile, visiting Aucas can also been content with what they’ve produced in this opening phase. Los Orientales haven’t exactly pulled up any trees but having come into the season as a newly promoted side, sitting 6th on 28 points with such a comfortable margin on the teams in relegation trouble has to be considered a good return.

Aucas arrive in good shape having won back to back outings but their win at El Nacional was just their second triumph on the road all season and a return to enemy territory does have to be a big concern as a result, particularly against a powerful home outfit like Delfin.

Ultimately, you have to fancy Delfin to win this match and we’re more than happy to back them to do exactly that. Man for man, they are the stronger team, having put their squad together for this season with the aid of Copa Libertadores money and they should have a bit too much for this Aucas side.

Delfin’s home performances are too impressive to ignore and they’ve seen off visitors with more quality than Aucas with impressive regularity. The visitors are not the most convincing on their travels and we think their strong recent form will come crashing to a halt via a 1-0 defeat, a scoreline worth backing in addition to our main pick.
