Emelec is a weak team from Ecuador, a much worse league than the Serie A where Palmeiras comes from. They didn't rotate in their last game in the league against Aucas (won 1:0), where they received a red card at 20’ so today will be very tired as they played just two days ago with 10 players for 70 minutes, a very demanding game.

They have a good scenario here, as Tachira (who is in very bad shape) won against Petrolero, the main rival for the 2nd place. It’s good because the strongest rival for Emelec in the fight for the 2nd place is Petrolero, who has only 1 point so far (Emelec has two). Tachira has 4 points but as said, they are in really bad form and are a weak team.

On the other hand, Palmeiras is one of the best teams in the whole tournament, and are in great form. They should be able to end in the first position of this group easily and even fight for the title.

Are a very powerful team, destroying 8:1 Petrolero and 0:4 Tachira, while Emelec drew 1:1 against both of them.

There is a big difference here, not only in quality. Physically, Brazilian sides are above Ecuador teams but we must also remember that Emelec played just 2 days ago 70 minutes of a game with 10 players.

A defeat here for Emelec is totally affordable, as they know that they will have very small chances to achieve points against probably the best team of the competition who is also in great form. Emelec also isn’t in their best form.

埃梅莱克是一支来自厄瓜多尔的弱队，比帕尔梅拉斯所在的巴甲要差得多。他们在联赛最后一场对阵奥卡斯的比赛中没有轮换（以 1:0 获胜），在 20 分钟时吃到一张红牌，所以今天会很累，因为 10 名球员踢了将近 70 分钟，对体能要求很高。

他们在这里有一个很好的前提，因为 Tachira（状态非常糟糕）击败了第二名的主要竞争对手 Petrolero。埃梅莱克在第二名的争夺中最强的对手是 Petrolero，他目前只有 1 分（Emelec 有 2 分）。Tachira 有 4 分，但如前所述，他们的状态非常糟糕，是一支弱队。

另一方面，帕尔梅拉斯是整个比赛中最好的球队之一，而且状态很好。他们应该能够轻松地结束这个小组的第一名，甚至为冠军而战。

他们是一支非常强大的球队，以 8:1 击败 Petrolero 和 0:4 Tachira，而埃梅莱克则以 1:1 战平双方他们。

这里会有很大的不同，不仅在实力上。从身体上看，巴西队在厄瓜多尔队之上，但我们还必须记住，埃梅莱克仅在两天前与 10 名球员一起打了 70 分钟的比赛。

对于埃梅莱克来说，在这里的失利是完全可以承受的，因为他们知道，面对可能是比赛中状态最好的球队，他们获得积分的机会非常小。埃梅莱克也不是在最佳状态。
