LDU Quito - El Nacional

Ecuador Primera Division, Segunda Etapa

Liga de Quito are having one of the toughest weeks in their history, as they will have to play no less than 4 matches in 7 days, matches that will define their future. They will play today and tomorrow in the league, Thursday is Sudamericana and Sunday again in the league.And with 3 points clear of Emelec, a win today will put them 6 points ahead, but thanks to the superior goal difference, they will secure their final berth. So the list of priorities is simple: play for the win today - getting into the final, play with reserves tomorrow so the regulars will be fit for the Sudamericana clash, than give them another rest in the last round of the championship. Today is El Nacional, tomorrow Deportivo Quito, so it's obvious the regulars will go for the weaker opponent in the earlier match. No final line-up has been made public, but coach Bauza said he'll go for it with the best available players. There are of course some doubtful players (Barcos, Luna, Salgueiro, Calderon, Reasco and de la Cruz), and if they're not at 100%, they won't be risked, but I'm pretty sure at least half of them will start tonight's game. And with El Nacional safe, without an objective, they shouldn't waste too much time, and I'm expecting an early lead. GL!

LDU (-0.75 AH) @ 1.70, 4/10
Result: 3-1, WON
