A surprise from Sangolquí

Union de Santa FE played a 2-2 draw in Tigre's home and then they won Lanus (3-0) in their home. They got the upper hand from the very beginning and that pushed them to an easy win. Now they sit on the 7th place in the Argentinian Superliga and a ticket to upcoming Sudamericana seems like a realistic goal. Moreover, they perform in Copa Sudamericana qualifiers since they came 10th in last season's Superliga. Leonardo Mandelon's team score with ease but they concede goals with the same ease. Alvarez and Pablo Cuadra will be available tonight. The upcoming games are vs Defensa Justicia on the road and for the last round of their domestic league, they are playing vs Estudiantes in front of their fans. The second leg for the first qualifying round of Copa Libertadores is taking place in Ecuador at 18/4.

It is a rather successful start in Ecuador for Independiente del Valle, as they've already registered four wins and one draw in 6 rounds. Now they are doing even greater. In their most recent game, they won 0-2 over Mushuc Runa on the road playing with a wide rotation. Their goal is to qualify through the qualification rounds and their journey is based on this from the start of the season. This team actually know how to fight in the field.

It is the maiden game of Union de Santa FE in this competition, they will definitely have their fans on their side. They can score with ease but they also concede. Independiente del Valle will search for a positive result which will give them an advantage for the second leg. They can surely trouble their opponent. Away win draw no bet is my call.
