Emelec are not in the best of forms lately and are letting in goals quite in plenty. Even at home they have failed to keep clean sheets consistently in the past few weeks, and they are dreading this upcoming encounter against their in-form opponents.
It needs to be noted that their form has been on a downward stretch for quite some time and it seems to have happened for them at the worst possible time.
They did manage to get an entry into the knockouts of the Libertadores but all of their efforts might amount to nothing, considering the recent struggles they have experienced.
Meanwhile, Atletico are on a superb streak of results and are finding the back of the net at an impressive rate. Even on the road they have managed to maintain this streak and they will be eager to finish off this tie in the first leg itself.
On the other hand, Atletico MG are on a 3-fixture winning streak, and they had scored a total of 7 goals in the process. Going on there were also unbeaten in 13 of their previous 14 road trips and in the process they had gone a 6-match winning streak.
Taking into account these observations anticipate a victory for Atletico MG this Tuesday.
