LDU Quito - El Nacional

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

Trusted LDU on Thursday, but I guess it was a bad idea, as Velez proved too strong, and LDU's defenders where morons. However, now that their Libertadores adventure has ended, the league is their only objective, and they have some catching up to do, as Emelec has a 5-points advantage over them, although with two matches more played. So, hopefully, LDU changed the chip, and can now be fully focused on the Serie A, and can manage to recover from their poor recent results. A lot of first team regulars are available tonight, and in the line-up we can see Reasco, Guagua, Calderon, de la Cruz, Bolanos and Barcos. A strong line-up, that hopefully will know how to end the bad run. El Nacional has been playing above expectations, as they are on 4th place, just 3 points behind second-placed LDU. But, they have 5 consecutive matches on the road without winning, and Casablanca surely isn't an easy ground on which to take points (El Nacional is no Velez). And when you lose at Manta and Independiente, and also draw at Espoli, I don't think you can have many hopes of coming away with points from LDU, a thing that didn't happen since 2008. GL!

LDU (-0.75 AH) @ 1.94, 3/10
Result: 2-1, HALF WON
