LDU Loja - LDU Quito

Ecuador Serie A, Primera Etapa

LDU Quito is coming into this match after ending their 3-match without a win run, with a 2-0 victory over Manta. They've made a good start of the season, winning the first 2 games, but something happened after their home loss against Emelec, as two scoreless draws followed, at Quevedo and Cuenca. So it was vital for them to have recovered their form and their confidence, because if we talk about quality, LDU has plenty, and I see them as main contenders for the title (although a long-walk behind Emelec - who so far seem to be from a totally different league). Loja is currently sitting around mid-table, after several less than convincing performances. They only managed to beat Macara and league champions Barcelona (who are currently on the last place, so it shouldn't mean too much), while also recording some low-level results, most notable is a home-defeat against newcomers U Catolica. Coach Velez will be forced to watch from the stands, while they also have to cope with the absence of defender Armando Gomez (5/1) and forward Armando Wila (5/1). Quito also miss defender Eduardo Morante and midifelder Carlos Feraud, but they should have good cover for them, with Edison Mendez and Francisco Rojas. GL!
