Barcelona Guayaquil form and stats
Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the group stage.This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in this competition. The Barcelona Guayaquil fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha and will expect new points from this game. Barcelona has played 26 games in a row here without a defeat.
In their previous game, the manager F. Bustos led his Barcelona Guayaquil to a defeat in the Liga Pro match away at Orense. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha.
Before that, Barcelona Guayaquil played out a Copa Libertadores draw 2-2 when visiting Fluminense.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Barcelona, as the Liga Pro home game vs LDU Quito is only four days away.
Fluminense form and stats

Total Copa Libertadores statistics for Fluminense: 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. With the Fluminense losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Fluminense play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Internacional. Defender Nino was the best team player with a rating of 8.64. Nino scored one goal and won 11 of 11 duels. As you can tell from the result, the match against Internacional was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A draw for Fluminense before that, at their own venue hosting Barcelona Guayaquil (2-2).After this away game Fluminense return home for a Serie A game against Atletico Mineiro. That game is only four sleeps after this.
