The playoffs start on to the round of 16. The third in the group stage of the Libertadores faces the second in the Sudamericana. So everyone was left with a second chance. The duels to the death begin in a series of 180 minutes, where everyone has to risk their lives. Barcelona de Guayaquil knows this very well, which has to face, next Wednesday, July 17, against Bragantino.
The Monumental Banco Pichincha stadium will host a duel that could easily be a quarter-final tie. So each one will put all the meat on the grill, despite certain details that may have an impact. On the one hand, Bragantino has a rhythm of play, because he did not have a break for the Copa América, so he has clearer ideas. In addition, he will not be able to rely on Jadsom Silva in midfield due to injury. Although the team led by Ariel Holan faced two situations. First, the lack of competition rhythm and game due to the end of the regular tournament of the Ecuador league. The second, lost their center forward, Francisco Fydriszewski.

Corner kicks go to…
In this case, corner kicks are going down. They will be less than 10.5. This is basically because of the chances that everyone generates on average.
Barcelona have generated 20 corner kicks in their last 5 games with an average of 4.0. Although Bragantino, in the same number of games, caused 29 assists and reached an average of 5.8 per game. Taken together, these figures do not exceed the mark set in the forecast. For this reason, it is logical to think that the corners will go down, in this case, less than 10.5.

Barcelona SC: in search of the other half of glory
Despite not meeting expectations in the Copa Libertadores, Ariel Holan’s men are not giving up and will fight to win the title in the Copa Sudamericana.
Taking into account details such as the lack of rhythm and competition, which their rival has, the Ecuadorian team will put all their efforts into the game. This was expressed by his coach, who already knows what it means to win the Copa Sudamericana.
For this reason, two of the predictions focus on Barcelona de Guayaquil. Someone suggests that the Ecuadorians will win the first half. This is basically because American Colossus has won the first half in 4 of their last appearances. He did it against Cobresal, Técnico Universitario, Liga de Quito and Cumbaya. Likewise, their rival, Bragantino, lost in the first half in their last game.
The other is about the double chance in favor of Barcelona. The Holan team has a certain advantage over Bragantino. The Brazilians have not won 4 of their last 5 finals. Although the American colossus has won 4 of its last 5 games.
These figures suggest that it is not at all crazy to bet on Ariel Holan’s team to win the first half and win or draw in regulation time.
