LDU Quito - Form Analysis:

"La Bordadora" regained their status as Ecuador's top club last year, also winning the Copa Sudamericana. However, they only finished third in the first round of the new national championship season, trailing Independiente del Valle by a few goals. Their Copa Libertadores campaign has also been underwhelming. They managed to win at home against Botafogo and drew away with Atlético Juniors. Consequently, with four points, they approach the final round in last place with no chance of advancing to the playoffs.
