Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa
Liga de Quito is passing through a great moment in both competitions where it is featuring. They won their group in Copa Libertadores, and after they're 1-0 mid-week win against Cuenca, they are also topping the tables in Serie A. Things couldn't get any better for them, but in the next 2 weeks, they will have to play the first knock-out round of Libertadores, and it's going to be a tough task for them, as they will face Velez Sarsfield, a team that is certainly no push-over. So their main focus goes to Libertadores, obviously, as there are still many rounds to play in the league. Therefore, a lot of first team-regulars will be rested tonight against Espoli, as the next 3 matches are dubbed to be far more important: the 2 matches against the Argentinians, and the Derby of Quito, against Deportivo. Espoli may be on the last place in the league, but in their last couple of matches they showed some signs of revival, drawing with El Nacional, before securing a surprise win away at Manta. Another interesting fact is that they are usually a tough nut for LDU to crack, and lately they have either lost by the minimum, either they haven't lost at all. Last match was played in Quito... LDU played with reserves and won 2-0, but only after a red card for Espoli, with the second goal scored in the 90th minute. Liga had a tough match then, and it surely won't be easy today either. Small stake though, as Espoli isn't at the bottom of the table for nothing. GL!
Espoli (+0.75 AH) @ 2.03, 3/10
Result: 0-0, WON
