Emelec vs Aucas Prediction & Betting Tips (7 October)

In what is becoming an extremely competitive race for promotion, a run of eight wins in nine games has catapulted Emelec to the top of the Liga Pro standings, with the current coach charges emerging victorious from all five of their home matches during this period. Aucas, meanwhile, have lost 11 times in 14 third-tier trips this season.

Six of the last eight Emelec home games in the Liga Pro have served up under 2.5 goals, so the Emelec have not brought much excitement which will end up ending disappointed. For their part, Aucas are renowned for keeping things tight, with seven of their previous ten away fixtures in the top-flight producing no more than a couple of goals.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 12 top-flight fixtures involving Emelec, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Aucas are concerned, as 11 of their previous 13 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
