The black-and-blues have been incredible as they remain top of the Ecuadorian Liga Pro Championship round with 20 victories, 10 draws, and only two losses in the league. The black-and-blues must have forgotten the taste of defeat, because the last time they lost a league game was as far back as May this year.
Los Negriazules crashed out of the Copa Libertadores after finishing third in Group B, which comprises River Plate, Universitario, and Barcelona SC. However, their third-place finish in the Copa Libertadores bought them one last chance to compete in the Sudamericana playoffs, where they defeated Vasco by a 5-1 aggregate. Del Valle won 4 goals to 0 in the first leg, while the second leg ended in a 1-1 draw. Claudio Spinelli has been a force to reckon with for Del Valle this season. He is the team's top scorer this season with 17 goals to his name.
Del Valle's form in the Sudamericana has been solid; they advanced on penalties to the semi-finals after defeating Once Caldas on penalties. The team showed consistency in the Ecuadorian Serie A, and this consistency has kept them on top of the league with a solid fifteen-point margin over their closest rivals, LDU. They lost the opportunity to enter into this return leg with a goal advantage, failing to hold up the game when it mattered the most after scoring early in the 11th minute through Sornoza’s penalty. Dudu equalized for Mineiro in the 91st minute to get them all squared.
Independiente del Valle Lineup
Javier Rabanal is more than ready to enter into the return leg. Their Serie A game over the weekend was postponed.
Claudio Spinelli has been instrumental in Del Valle's goal, contributing 17 goals in total this season. He remains a goal-scoring threat. Matias Fernandez continues to make in-runs from his right flank, and Gustavo Cortez widely supports him on the opposite flank. Michael Hoyos will be available for this game, and he will most likely lead the team once again.
Player to watch out for: Claudio Spinelli
The 28-year-old forward has been in incredible form for Del Valle. The 28-year-old Argentine forward is currently valued at 1.7M Euros, and his playmaking abilities are outstanding for a player his age. He is the overall team top scorer this season.
