If any match can be decisive so far this year for Emelec, it is the one that will take place this Tuesday, May 3 (5:15 p.m.) against Deportivo Táchira in San Cristóbal, in the fourth match of both in the Copa Libertadores 2022.
The Ecuadorian team is two points below the Venezuelans, after drawing 1-1 in the match played in Guayaquil three weeks ago and then losing to leader Palmeiras.
Táchira, who started losing 0-4 to the Brazilians, rose from last to second place thanks to their 1-2 win against Independiente Petrolero in Bolivia and Emelec’s 1-3 loss to Palmeiras during that matchday.
The urgency of El Bombillo to win is prevailing. A defeat removes Táchira to five points from Emelec, remaining six to dispute for both; therefore, he traveled to the Venezuelan city with the urgency of winning.
Both arrive with some irregularity in local tournaments, since Táchira tied 3-3 at home against Deportivo la Guaira and missed the opportunity to get closer to the leader Monagas SC, while Emelec remains fourth with 18 points and a game less, the rescheduled one against Barcelona SC.
Emelec and Táchira drew 1-1 in the first match between the two
Emelec arrived in San Cristóbal on Sunday night and this Monday he plans to reconnoiter the field of the Pueblo Nuevo stadium.
Táchira was focused after the match against La Guaira and so far he has not announced casualties due to injuries in a team that will surely be similar to the one that played in the George Capwell stadium.
