Independiente del Valle host Emelec to make amends for a grueling draw with Técnico Universitario in Ambat and their rivals, to confirm their recovery in the second phase of the Pro Serie A.

The match will be played this Saturday starting at 18:00 at the Banco Guayaquil stadium, in Chillo Jijón.

Independiente del Valle, with 8 points in the standings, will play one of the last chances to enter the fight for the stage, since as the winner of the first, coach Martín Anselmi and his players have the desire to directly decorate the title without contesting the final.

For its part, Emelec, also with 8 integers, intends to continue to add and climb positions in the classification to consolidate its durability in the first division. The Blues have shown improvement in the game and results since they drew (1-1) away to El Nacional in the sixth match.

Victory over Mushuc Run (3-1) the previous Saturday at George Capwell raised the group’s enthusiasm.

“There is no more need for guesswork; We need the points because we know what we are playing for at the bottom. If we win two or three games in a row, I think we will start fighting for the top. Let’s hope to play a good game at the weekend and get 3 points,” right-back Romario Caicedo told local media.

“We have to be firmer in defense and try to prevent the opponent from offering, to counter what he presents. “Independiente del Valle is a great team, they have shown that because they have won many international tournaments, they are a team that competes at a high level,” he pointed out.
