Emelec vs Olimpia Betting Tips and Predictions

Olimpia’s came off a 7 game losing streak on Friday with a 2-0 win against bottom of the league Guaraní. They will hope this is a sign of their fortunes changing, as it was their first point in 8 games.

Olimpia are yet to win a group game in the Copa Libertadores with losses coming against Deportivo Táchira (2-1) and Pumas UNAM (2-0).

Emelec will be feeling confident coming into this fixture with 5 wins in their last 7 games. In the Copa Libertadores they recorded a 2-0 win against Deportivo Táchira, but struggled in Mexico as they lost 4-2 to Pumas UNAM. They will be looking at the full 3 points in this game so they can keep pressure on top of the league Pumas.

Ángel Mena has been in great form for Emelec so far this season netting 3 times in his 4 appearances so far this season, and is likely to give the Olimpia a defence a test in this game.

Despite winning in their last outing Olimpia will still find it a difficult task heading to Estadio Reales Tamarindos, looking at their prior form coming into this game, and Copa Libertadores performances so far, Emelec to win at 1/2 with bet365 looks good value.
