Orense vs Técnico Universitario: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Machala earned the same 58 points as Universidad Católica but still lost out on fourth place. As a result, they missed the chance to play in the Copa Libertadores, and the playoff for a spot in the Copa Sudamericana was lost to Macará. They had a difficult start domestically as well, but found their form in the spring—a run of unbeaten matches was only interrupted by a setback against Universidad Católica Quito.
The team from Ambato last year finished just one point ahead of bottom-placed Vinotinto, who were relegated. Now they have noticeably improved, consolidating their position in the middle of the table. This was especially due to their successes in May, winning three times in their last four matches.
Torres's men average 1.4 goals scored per game, conceding 1.27. Their next opponent has similar stats: 1.06 goals scored per round and one conceded.
