LDU Quito - Macara

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

After a disastrous First Stage, LDU Quito are once again near the top of the table, as they are looking to make thier fans forget the first part of the year. And they are in a good moment, as they are undefeated for the last 3 matches, winning against LDU Loja and El Nacional, and also recording a spirited 2-2 draw last week, away at Emelec. Defender Luna (26/0) is the only important absence for them, as they recover forward Bieler, who will just be on the bench. Their attack is working fine lately, even without Bieler, as they have scored 7 goals in the last 3 matches, but their defense is having plenty of issues, receiving 4 in those matches. Luna's absence could increase their defensive worries. Macar is flying very high in this stage, level on points with the leaders Olmedo and Barcelona. Away from home they drop their standard of performance, but they can still put up a good fight, that's how they won at Independiente by 3-0. Other than that, they lost all matches, but still managed to score 3 goals, the exception being their trashing at the hands of Barcelona, 0-4. I think they can score here as well, as they have a good offensive system, and with LDU's recent form, goals should be coming. And I'm choosing this bet over the handicap, as a 2-1 home win has good chances of happening. GL!
