Prediction for the 6th round of the Copa Libertadores match, which will occur on May 28th between Del Valle and Barcelona SC.

Independiente Del Valle (3rd)
The black-and-blues have been incredible in their last 10 games across all competitions with just 2 defeats, 2 draws, and six wins. In the Ecuadorian league, they are top of the league, with 9 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses from the 14 league games played. They’ve secured three consecutive league victories in their last three league games, with their most recent league game against Mushuc Runa ending in a 2-1 victory.
In the Copa Libertadores, the Black-and-blues have struggled, managing only a win, with 2 draws and 2 losses from the five games played. Their most recent outing was a heavy 6-2 defeat to group leaders River Plate where they briefly took a 1-2 lead in the 21 minutes of the game but collapsed after Mateo Carabajal was sent off in the dying minutes of the first half due to a professional foul which earned their opponents a penalty that was converted to make it 3-2. The Black-and-blues have a group-worst 10 goals, resulting in a -4 goal difference, which is a reason they have to win this game against Barcelona SC. This game is very important for the Black-and-blues, and they must make the most of it.
Indelendiente Del Valle: Lineup
The suspension of center-back Mateo Carabajal in their last Libertadores game against River Plate means Richard Schunke will take his place. Claudio Spinelli, who has found the net in their last three games in the Copa Libertadores, remains a goal-scoring threat, as we witnessed his masterclass upfront against River Plate last week.
� Independiente Del Valle starting lineup (4-1-4-1)
Villar – Santamaria, Zarate, Richard Schunke, Loor – Alcivar, — Ibarra, Cazares, Mercado, Rodriguez – Spinelli

Barcelona SC (4th)
Barcelona SC remains unbeaten in their last six league games, the most recent being a goalless draw against Cuenca. The league game before this draw was a 2-0 victory over Emelec, in a game in which Octavio Riveiro scored a brace. This incredible form has put Barcelona SC in second position in the Ecuadorian Serie A with only two losses and 9 wins, and 3 draws from the 13 games played so far.
The Toreros have had a challenging Copa Libertadores campaign, with only a single win, a draw, and three losses in the five matches. Barcelona has not had the best run in the Libertadores, and we believe Wednesday’s game is very crucial to their future in the competition. Their first game was against Del Valle, and it was Carrabali’s 5-minute strike that gave them the all-important victory. Their second game in group B was against River Plate, and they both settled for a draw as neither could find the net, although Sebastian lost a penalty for River Plate, which goalkeeper Contreras saved. They lost their third group game at home against Universitario by a narrow 0-2 defeat. They were rather unlucky in that game as they dominated the game but were not clinical in goal. In their fourth game against River Plate, Barcelona had a very good game, but tiny moments of brilliance made the difference in the 2-3 defeat to River Plate. Finally, their 1-0 home loss to Universitario in their fifth match may have contributed greatly to their current position and may have dimmed their prospects in the competition, but we are about to find out on Wednesday. Their attack has also been very bad, scoring only three goals so far in the group stage games, but their defense has been more solid, conceding 5 goals with two clean sheets.
Barcelona SC: Probable Lineup
This game is very important for Segundo Castillo and his boys, and I believe he’ll go all out in attack with Cortez leading the attack alongside Rivero and Carabali on the defense line. Janner Corozo missed a penalty in the first leg encounter against Del Valle, but he’ll still lead the attack with hopes to redeem himself.
🔖 Probable lineup ( 4-2-3-1):
Contreras — Carabali, Arreaga, Vallecilla, Pineida, — Trindade, Jhonny Quinonez— Cortez, Souza de Almeida, Corozo, —, Rivero
👤 Head Coach: Segundo Castillo
