El Nacional vs Deportivo Santo Domingo: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Quito finished the regular season of Serie A in second-to-last place last year, and then dropped to the very bottom of the table. Moreover, now they have been unable to win even at a lower level! In the last round against Cuenca Juniors, they suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat.
The team from Santo Domingo, on the contrary, has been improving lately. They currently look relatively good, at least losing no more often than they win and picking up points. However, they stumbled against Gualaceo, losing 0-1. But on July 22, they managed to win by the same scoreline.
The capital’s players are struggling: only 0.67 goals scored per game and as many as 1.58 conceded. The Serie B newcomer scores 0.85 goals per match and concedes even less, just 0.77 per game.
