In the first match the teams showed a very hard fight, with a lot of fouls, but there were practically no scoring chances (Sporting Cristal had a couple of dangerous attacks, but Emelec's goalkeeper played reliably, while the guests had no dangerous chances at all, and the only goal was scored from a standard position).
Most likely Emelec today will play to keep the score, as the team is considered an outsider, so we do not expect a lot of goals.
Prediction: only one of the teams to score or no one does. We recommend the “BTTS - No” bet, odds 2
