Independiente Petrolero vs Emelec – Betting Analysis
At home, Independiente Petroleros were in excellent form. Their recent form has been concerning, as they have lost two of their last three home league games. In each of those two defeats, they conceded two or more goals.
When compared to a squad in their league, a handful of losses in the last ten home games won’t mean much. When it comes to competitive events, though, such statistics are quite important.
Emelec, on the other hand, has been recording some bad displays on the road recently. They’re on a roller coaster of form, with goals conceded in nine of their last ten away games.
After considering all of the above data, we can’t recommend any of these two teams. Instead, we’re betting on a tie in this one.
