What’s On Tap in the Ecuador Top Flight

Here is a brief look at this weekend’s matches in Ecuador’s top domestic league.

El Nacional v. D. Quito, Saturday at the Atahualpa. A good Quito derby match, testing whether El Nacional can maintain it’s position at the top of the table.

Espoli v. Olmedo, Saturday. Word on the street is that Olmedo’s jersey sales have plummeted since Bob defected to Emelec.

Cuenca v. Barcelona, Sunday. Can Barcelona continue its amazing run and win its sixth on the trot?

Aucas v. LDU Quito, Sunday. Will Liga keep pace with El Nacional? Will Aucas fans pack the Estadio Chillogallo? Did I write that last sentence just because I like to say “Chillogallo”? Yes, yes, and yes.

Emelec v. Macara, Sunday at the Capwell. Emelec have their rightful point total back, and will look to keep up with suddenely-surging crosstown rivals Barcelona.
