Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa
LDU Quito looks in red hot form lately, and they showed their previous monster form in their last match, when they won 5-0 in Casablanca against Manta. They suffered a bit in the first half, as they couldn't find many spaces, nor could they do that even after 1-0, as Manta just kept defending. But once the second goal came, and ruined the visitor's defensive plan, it was a piece of cake, as Liga never looked back and put 3 more beyond Los Atuneros. Coach Bauza will repeat exactly the same line-up today, despite two players recovering from their injuries. And honestly, after such a performance a few days ago, I don't see why he would change anything. But, an early goal will be key for this match, as Independiente will also pretty much defend, and will try to frustrate Liga's attacks for as long as possible. However, they look like a more easy to break opponent, having conceded goals in almost every match (1-1 at home against Espoli, 2-2 away at Imbabura), and their only victory came last weekend, at home, 1-0 against newly promoted Liga de Loja. If we look to the head-to-head, it suggests that this shouldn't even be a contest, as LDU won all 4 of their meetings with Independiente, without receiving a single goal, while scoring a fantastic 11 goals. Therefore, I'm an expecting another easy win for the current champions. GL!
LDU (-1.25 AH) @ 1.84, 5/10
Result: 2-1, HALF LOST
