Liga Pro is back in action, and this fixture means more than three points, because LDU Quito and Macará are only five points apart in the table. The hosts need a win to close in on the top of the table, while the visitors, who are on an upward run, want to confirm that their third place is no accident. LDU Quito are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, but in the league lately they have won narrowly 2-1 in two consecutive games before closing with a 1-1 draw. Their attack still has something, but a defense that has conceded 24 goals in 30 matches means no game is ever comfortable. Macará are different: they have won 4 in a row, and three of those four were 1-0 wins, so their defense is the foundation that keeps them where they are. This game is likely to see the hosts dominate possession and push high, backed by an average of 58.2% possession in their last 10 matches, while Macará are good at waiting for their moment and countering. If LDU Quito score first, the game will open up and there is a chance the hosts will flow on and pull away. If Macará take the lead first, the game will flip into the visitors sitting deep and making the hosts chase, which will make it even more tense.
