No doubt Barcelona can not complain about his campaign, as he is one of the favorites for the title and he continues to fight at the top of the table. As you know the importance of having regularity it is clear that you will not want to have a slip in your domains and from the initial minutes will try to go with everything on your opponent, being that your goal is to achieve a good result. In this game a victory is something possible to happen and if you can prevail in the field you can conquer without major difficulties. For this match coach Guillermo Almada will have to bring to the field what he has of the best available.
Aucas:

In the last match, they have tied at home against Guayaquil City FC by (1-1), after in the previous match they have lost at home, in a match against Universidad Católica, by (0-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 8 conceded. For the championship, Aucas won 7 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 8 away matches.

The team has conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since in 7 of the last 8 they played there were less than 3 goals. In 16 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 7 times and never got the comeback.
So far the Aucas has shown strong in the Ecuadorian championship and the minimum expected is to stay where it is, so you want to get positive results, even away from their domains. It is clear that to achieve their goals throughout the season is necessary to continue to evolve, showing improvement in the field and bringing more difficulties to the adversaries, as well the tendency to obtain markers in their favor would increase a lot. On this day will face one of the best teams in the competition and that shows that it will not have facilities, so if at least get tie and will be positive.
