Defensa y Justicia vs Emelec Prediction: Team News, Line-Ups, & Form
Defensa y Justicia:
Defensa y Justicia scored twice inside the final 3 minutes of the first leg to turn a tough situation into a very favourable one. The 2-1 away win gives Defensa a crucial edge and also it extended their winning streak in this year's Copa Sudamerica to 6 consecutive games.
The gaffer is very likely to trust the same starting lineup as he doesn't have any fresh injury issues + the players will be fresh and well rested after having last weekend free.
Predicted Line-Up:
Bologna (GK), Tripichio, Cardona, Soto, Malatini, Sant'Anna, López, Barbona, Fernández, Togni & Solari
Emelec:
Emelec led 1-0 for over 80 minutes in the first leg. However, the very passive display late on proved costly and they lost 1-2. Considering Emelec's poor recent away record in Copa Sudamericana (W1 D3 L2) for them to qualify will require a monumental effort in the second leg.
Emelec rested most of their regulars at the weekend and this explains why they barely scraped to a 0-0 away draw vs Libertad on the domestic stage.
Both Bolanos and Cabeza are in danger of missing. They sat out the first leg injured and remain touch-and-go. The pair are Emelec's main forwards and without them, the recent displays had been toothless. Emelec scored just 2 goals in their last 4 matches.
Predicted Line-Up:
Ortiz (GK), León, Leguizamón , Carabali, Cevallos, Caicedo, García, Villalba, Valencia, Sosa & Angulo

Player to Watch: Gaston Togni
Gaston Togni scored the stoppage-time winner in the first leg. He now has 5 goals in 7 Copa Sudamericana matches this season. He has scored in 2 of the last 3 home games for his team too. With Defensa likely to seek goals and killing of the tie early we back Togni to be involved in those one way or another.
