Independiente del Valle take on the visitors Deportivo Tachira in the second leg of Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. First leg result: 1-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 10th at Estadio Banco Guayaquil (Quito).
Independiente del Valle has already taught that they can be a threat in the international arena. The "Black and Blue" is a rather extraordinary project. For more than 60 years of existence, they ahve only once won the local Serie A in Ecuador, and this happened just in last year's draw. But at the same time, the "black and blue" have already showed themselves several times at the international level. In 2016, they shocked everyone by reaching the final of the Copa Libertadores. And after 3 years they became the winners of the Copa Sudamericana. In this season, the Ecuadorians failed to qualify for the first of these tournaments in the playoffs, becoming 3rd in their quartet. But on the other hand, Lanus has already been knocked out in a lower ranked competition, and now they have an advantage over the home match.

Deportivo Tachira gave a good result for themselves. The "Yellow-black carousel" are listed at the national level above the opponent. Last year, they took the 9th championship title. Now, by the way, we have a good start in the Example and they also manage to advance further in the cup. And, most importantly, the representatives of Venezuela are quite good in the international arena - that's where before were no reason to be proud. And this time the team finished 3rd in their Copa Libertadores group, losing to Palmeiras and Emelec. Moreover, with Santos in the Copa Sudamericana, both meetings ended 1-1, and Deportivo proceeded further on penalties. It was not possible to win against the Ecuadorians at home, moreover, Tachira did not score even once. Independiente del Valle, with the efforts of Angulo, opened the scoring already in the 3rd minute, after which, even spending more than half an hour in the minority, they kept the advantage.
Last week, Ecuadorians and Venezuelans held their first head-to-head match. A draw is enough for Independiente del Valle, and it is difficult to expect surprises from Deportivo Tachira on the road. We recommend betting that in the second leg there will be "total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
