In the upcoming fixture of Copa Sudamericana, Matchday 2, Emelec will be hosting Club Atletico Huracan at the Estadio Banco Pacifico – Capwell in Guayaquil.

The Ecuadorian side is coming off a poor match form in Liga Pro Ecuador, making the upcoming matchup even tougher for the home side. In the opening match of Sudamericana, Emelec did have the competitive share of 54% possession but failed to find the net and maintain consistency. Carrying the 4-2-3-1 formation forward, Coach Miguel Rondelli will be looking to maximize the home advantage and register an important win. With just one shot on target in the last outing, Emelec certainly needs to revise its attack and other corresponding strategies. With just a win in the last five matches played, Emelec will be starting under pressure. Secondly, the home side has only scored 5 goals in the last 5 matches, averaging 1.00 goals per game.

Huracan’s struggling phase in the Argentine Primera Division continues, which is why the visitors will be starting with a poor run under their belt. On the other hand, Huracan managed to defeat the Paraguayan side, Guarani (4-1), in which Santiago Hezze, Lucas Nahuel Castro, Santiago Lujan, and Juan Fernando Garro scored goals. For the upcoming matchup, Huracan will be missing out on Lucas Nahuel Castro due to physical discomfort. There’s no doubt that Huracan started off the continental championship with a vivid statement of attacking. However, the recent match form is a matter of grave concern. In the last five matches played, Huracan has managed just a win and a draw. Secondly, Huracan has scored only 5 and conceded 8 goals.

Estadio Banco Pacifico will be hosting an iconic matchup between the Ecuadorian and Argentinian sides. Considering the poor form of Emelec at home, the upcoming matchup is likely to end in a one-sided encounter. With a goal-scoring average of 1.00 goals per game, Huracan is likely to score and lead the scoreline 0-1 or 0-2. Emelec might play defensively in the opening few minutes of play.
