You can watch this game live in the US on FuboTV (free trial).

Deportivo Tachira are second in Group A with 4 points, in which Palmeiras are the absolute leaders, having won all their games very solidly. The advantage that Tachira had, and that Emelec did not take advantage of, was the victory against Independiente Petrolero, the weakest team in the group: while the Venezuelans beat the Bolivians 2-1, the Ecuadorians tied 1-1.

For this reason, this will be a crucial game for Emelec. A loss could leave them on the verge of elimination, taking into account the more than likely victory of Palmeiras against Independiente Petrolero. The tie doesn’t seem to help much either, since Tachira would keep its second place and the 2 points advantage that with two games to play, could be decisive.

Deportivo Tachira vs Emelec: Storylines and Head-to-Head

The last confrontation between the two was 1-1 in Ecuador, a result that clearly favored the Venezuelans, who also won against Independiente Petrolero, something that Emelec could not do and that leaves them in a complicated position and with the need to win to not be so complicated thinking about the last two games, one of which will be against Palmeiras.
