Emelec will welcome Danubio to Estadio George Capwell for a matchday six fixture in the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday.

Danubio, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a routine 2-0 away win over La Luz in the Uruguayan Primera Division. Jannenson Sarmiento's first-half brace helped the visitors claim the maximum points.

Emelec vs Danubio Prediction
Group B is the most open group in the Sudamericana heading into the final day of the group stage. All four sides still have a shot at qualifying for the knockout rounds and have their destinies in their hands.
Danubio have been the more consistent side and come into the game on a three-game winning run. Emelec, for their part, have struggled for form, particularly on home turf, having failed to win any of their last five games in front of their fans.
The Ecuadorians have shown a strong penchant for draws in recent weeks and we are backing this trend to continue in a low-scoring stalemate.
