With stats like that, it's no surprise that they've locked in their qualification and secured top spot in the group with two games still to go.

For their part, Emelec are in need of points. Although they are in second place in the group with 5 points, Deportivo Tachira follow them very closely with 4, and in this Matchday they play against Independiente Petrolero, the weakest team in the group. However, taking into account that they will play against Palmeiras in Brazil, a draw could be a good result and reach the last Matchday only 1 point below the Venezuelans in case they win.
