Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Olmedo in 8th and Emelec in 9th place.
Olmedo and Emelec should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Olmedo form and stats
When playing at home, Olmedo have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games. Two home wins in a row for Olmedo bring valid hopes of a third.The fans are hoping that Olmedo will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Liga Pro game against Independiente del Valle. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Deportivo Cuenca.
The Olmedo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Olmedo have conceded 5 goals.
Emelec form and stats
There's been little loot from Emelec's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games.

Preceding that game was the away Copa Libertadores victory against Huracan with the score of 2-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Emelec manager B. Vera as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cruzeiro.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Emelec's away games this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
