Head-to-head statistics Libertad Loja - Emelec

Libertad won't miss out on a Copa Sudamericana place
Libertad’s previous Serie A match ended in a 0-0 away draw with Guayaquil City (1 November 2026). The home side had considerably more possession, 65% to 35%, but both teams took 13 shots, with two on target each.
Libertad finished the season strongly: in their last five matches, they recorded three wins, one defeat and one draw.

They have averaged 1.5 goals scored per game over that stretch, while conceding 1 goal per game.

Emelec can no longer climb any higher
Emelec lost 0-2 at home to Leones del Norte in their latest Serie A match (31 October 2026). Despite having 58% possession, they managed just two shots on target to their opponents’ four.
Emelec are ending the season with notable difficulties: four defeats in their last five matches and just one win in that run. Over their last ten games, they have won three, lost six and drawn just once. The visitors have averaged 1 goal scored and 1.4 conceded per game over those ten matches, while their season averages are 0.89 and 1.23 respectively. Despite this, Emelec remain somewhat active in attack, but their defensive inconsistency often leads to both teams scoring, even against opponents with little motivation.
