Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa
Both teams with a solid season so far, although one of them are underachievers, while the others are overachievers. Liga de Quito are currently on second place, 2 points behind the leaders, so that may not sound so bad. But after the massive investments from pre-season, a lot more was expected from them, their recent run of 2 games without a win has put some doubts on their credentials. Last week they drew 1-1 at El Nacional, despite playing for almost an hour with an extra man. They had the possesion and tried to press, but with little success. So today they are pretty much forced to win, as the directors also gave the players an ultimatum. Their solid home form (4-2-1, 17 goals scored) should also give them an edge against a tricky Liga de Loja. The visitors have been performing well above expectations, sitting on 6th place, just 4 points behind the leader. They look like a solid team most of the times, but when visiting the more serious teams, they usually fail (lost 0-2 at Emelec and 1-4 at Deportivo Quito... still they were a tough nut to crack, as Emelec scored in the last 15 minutes, while against Deportivo they had 1-0 and lost only after they saw a red card). However, today Quito should be able to put a lot of pressure on them. They are simply better and have more quality, so I don't expect them to fail today. GL!
LDU (-1 AH) @ 1.85, 3/10
