Macará vs LDU Quito: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Ambato finished last year in the second group of six and became the best in that group. As a result, they qualified for the Copa Sudamericana, where they managed to reach the playoffs. However, their domestic results gradually worsened, which dropped them to mid-table. In the last round against Leones, they drew 1-1.
The team from the capital managed to claim second place in 2025 after a tough battle, earning 69 points—two more than Barcelona. This secured them a spot in the Copa Libertadores, where they advanced to the playoffs and will face Mirassol. In their domestic league, only Independiente del Valle has a clear advantage, and they are fighting to defend their second place—there are plenty of contenders. If not for the postponed match against Orense, they might have gone into the break in a desired position; instead, they're only sixth.
Ferro and company score an average of 0.94 goals per game, conceding more—1.13 per match. The vice-champions have better numbers: 1.07 goals scored per game and only 0.87 conceded.
