MacaraEcu-vs-Dep.-TachiraVen: Soccer Prediction of Today

Return the matches of the Copa Libertadores and we go to Ambato, Bellavista Stadium, where the local Macara receives Deportivo Tachira of Venezuela in the first qualifying match to the group stage.

We are going with this match that will be played at 2500 meters, and in front of us we have a team playing at sea level, and although it comes after a preseason of 5 friendly playing at 2300 high, it seems difficult that it can be accustomed to climate that you will find in Ambato with humidity of 94%.

The idol ambateno after the departure in first division last year, achieved a historic qualification to the Copa Libertadores, thanks especially to the many victories achieved in this stadium where he has lost only 3 games in all 2017. For this new season were added to the team good elements such as the Argentine goalkeeper Juan Manuel Tevez, the midfielder Acosta, the ex-selected Paraguayo Miers, added Diego Avila, Maicon Solis, Elvis Patta, David Noboa, Jaison Dominguez and Orlin Quinonez, who come from the country teams. They also maintained their best elements such as Ayala, Champang, Feroud, Cazares, Arboleda, Ogonaga and Corozo.

On the side of the Aurinegros, coach Stifano can count on new elements such as the Argentine Sergio Almirón, the Panamanian Jan Carlos Vargas and the Uruguayan Maximiliano Cantera, but he will not be able to count on three starters, the goalkeeper José Contreras, the midfielder Franklin González and forward César Martínez, all injured, while coach Paul Velez hinted at the ideal ounce for the Cup debut.

Tachira since 2004 has won a visiting match in the LIbertadores in 29 games and was against Guarani in 2009 and against Ecuador teams the balance is 0/2 lost against Dep Account 3-1 in 2009 and against Emelec 2-0 in 2016

In games like this, the home factor in 66% of cases is favorable for us, history in South America teaches that teams can almost always get the most out of the games played in their country. I do not expect any Venezuelan in the stadium, but only a big fan, to support his team in the first historical qualification for the most important Cup in South America.

The Táchira does not seem equipped for a victory, if blood is given, the height of 2500 meters will be felt in the long run, and today’s conditions are totally favorable for the local team.
