El Nacional - LDU Quito

Ecuador Serie A, Segunda Etapa

Liga de Quito is living a good moment, and their current form is worth following. After their 6-0 trashing of Manta, LDU made another good match in the second leg of Copa Sudamericana. Despite winning with only 1-0, they dominated almost the entire match, missed a lot of very good chances (Yaracuyanos's goalkeeper was the man of the match), and generally played very well. Coach Bauza anounced he will probably have to make a couple of changes to keep the players fit, but so far, only Vera and de la Cruz have been confirmed to be out for today's game. However, looking at what should, 90% sure, be the expected line-up for today, we can see a lot of their key players (Guagua, Urrutia, Calderon, Reasco, Bolanos and Barcos) ready to play. And I think they should be enough for El Nacional. And with El Nacional appearing to have some defensive issues (9 goals conceded in the first 5 matches), Liga can definitely take advantage of that, since Barcos is in hot form, scoring 5 goals in the last league match against Manta. Another interesting thing is that LDU hasn't lost in their last 12 meetings with El Nacional, since June 2008, showing a clear superiority of Los Albos, a superiority that will hopefully continue today as well. GL!

LDU (0) @ 1.78, 4/10
Result: 2-3, WON
