Manta - LDU Quito

Ecuador Serie A, Segunda Etapa

The hectic schedule is starting all over again for LDU, following their qualification to the semi-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, as in the next 10 days they will have to play the two legs against Velez Sarsfield, taking their total to 7 matches in almost 2 weeks. So, with the focus of the team obviously going to the continental cup, as the league is pretty much over for them, coach Bauza will once again rest some of his regulars. Several players from those who played in Asuncion on Thursday will be given a rest day today, so we'll have a half-powered LDU side. The biggest hit will probably be taken by the offensive line, as Acosta and Bieler will be responsible with scoring the goals, and they both aren't in their best form. Manta will have a good shit of remaining in the first division if they take some points here, as a win will send them 8 points clear of the relegation zone. Full team is expected for them, and I expect a solid match from Manta, especially since they haven't lost any of their last 4 home games against LDU. GL!

Manta (+0.5 AH) @ 1.94, 3/10
Result: 0-0, WON
