Aucas and Barcelona Guayaquil meet often enough to count on one hand, and most of the results have been tight: a 1-1 draw twice, and a 3-0 win for one side back in May. But the context is different this time, because Aucas are playing at home and sit several places above their opponents. Aucas have gone 5 matches without a win, but they are not a team that gets blown away. They have conceded no more than two goals in any of those games and ended the latest one with a share of the points. Barcelona Guayaquil, meanwhile, have not clearly been better than anyone: they have won only one match in the same stretch and have drawn nearly every game. The two sides' defences therefore do not look very different. If Aucas start at home and score first, they will likely control the tempo and force Barcelona Guayaquil to come out and trade chances, which suits the hosts better. If Barcelona Guayaquil have to chase the game from the start, they may have to open up more space and risk being caught on the counter.
