LDU Quito - Olmedo

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

Here we have pretty much the same situation as in Emelec's match, just that things are a bit reversed. From favorites, LDU now have the second chance to win the stage, after their mid-week defeat at home, against Deportivo. So today, even if they win their match, they still have to wait and hope that Emelec won't do the same. But even so, I doubt they won't be motivated enough. They have only 3 wins in the last 10 games (2 of them were defeats in Copa Libertadores), so they need to snap out of their bad form, and start winning again regularly, in order to keep the fans in their place, and also to keep coach Bauza in the club. Last 2 matches were bad for them, but the opponents weren't that easy (Barcelona and Deportivo), so we can't say LDU are in a crisis. And at home they won 7 out of 10, making them the second best home team (could be the best if they win today), while Olmedo are the poorest travelers in the league, with just 4 points from 10 matches. LDU should also find some motivation in the aggregate table, especially since they will also compete in Copa Sudamericana later this year. Full squad for LDU, and I'm pretty sure they will fight until the end. GL!

LDU Quito (-1.25 AH) @ 1.84, 3/10
Result: 1-1, LOST
