Emelec heads to Peru on Thursday for where they clash with Sporting Cristal in the Copa Sudamericana and they would be aiming to stay in the tie ahead of the second leg next week. Sporting Cristal was very lucky to see out a point against Fluminense to make the knockouts but they have a very slim chance of beating Emelec. My recommended betting pick in this game is an away win or draw for Emelec. Here’s why you should bet on the visitors to win or draw;

[1] Emelec beat Danubio on the final day to make the next round of the Copa Sudamericana and they are in very good form to progress to the round of 16 in this competition. The away team has lost just two games in the last three months and they didn’t do so badly in those defeats which were by a goal margin. Emelec has lost just one game in the Copa Sudamericana this season and they have competed favorably well against the best teams in this competition. Sporting Cristal dropped out of the Copa Libertadores after finishing outside the top two on the final day and they are facing a very good Emelec team. The hosts have had much luck away from home in the continental competitions this season and you shouldn bet on Emelec to grab a win or draw.

[2] Sporting Cristal has a team that isn’t as experienced as the visitors in the continental competitions and this could be another decisive factor in this game. The home team is playing in a weaker league and that is the only reason they were able to make it to the Copa Libertadores where they failed to qualify for the knockouts. Emelec has a much stronger attack and they can do well against Sporting Cristal who has been average in the continental competitions this year. There have been only two wins in six South American games for the hosts and I am very confident that Emelec can pull off a victory here or leave with a draw.

Emelec arrives in good form while Sporting Cristal has been inconsistent this season as they drop to the Copa Sudamericana. Both teams are looking to take an advantage in the first leg but it is Emelec who is likely to snatch something from this game.

埃米莱克将于周四前往秘鲁，在那里他们将与水晶竞技进行南美杯的比赛，他们的目标是在下周的次回合比赛前保持领先。在对阵弗鲁米嫩塞的比赛中，水晶竞技很幸运地拿到了1分，进入了淘汰赛，但他们击败埃梅雷茨的机会非常渺茫。我在这场比赛中推荐的投注选择是Emelec的客场胜利或平局。以下是为什么你应该赌客队赢或平的原因;

[1]在最后一天的比赛中，埃梅雷茨击败了达努比奥，进入了南美杯的下一轮比赛，他们的状态非常好，将在本次比赛中晋级16强。这支客场球队在过去的三个月里只输了两场比赛，而且他们在那些以一球之差输掉比赛的比赛中表现并不差。本赛季埃米莱克在南美杯中只输了一场比赛，他们在这项比赛中与最好的球队竞争得很好。在最后一天的解放者杯比赛中，水晶竞技被排除在前两名之外，他们将面对一支非常优秀的埃梅里亚球队。东道主在本赛季的洲际赛事中有很多运气，你应该打赌埃米莱克会取得一场胜利或平局。

[2][译文]在欧洲大陆的比赛中，克里斯托竞技的球队不如客队经验丰富，这可能是这场比赛的另一个决定性因素。主队在一个较弱的联赛中比赛，这是他们能够进入解放者杯的唯一原因，他们未能进入淘汰赛。埃米莱克有更强的进攻，他们可以很好地对付今年在欧陆比赛中表现一般的水晶竞技。东道主在南美洲的六场比赛中只取得了两场胜利，我非常有信心埃米莱克可以在这里取得胜利，或者以平局离开。

埃梅雷茨以良好的状态到来，而本赛季的水晶竞技却表现不稳定，他们被南美杯淘汰。两支球队都希望在首回合取得优势，但埃米莱克很可能从这场比赛中抢夺一些东西。
