Representatives of Universidad Católica are capable of showing organised football on both sides of the pitch. Their statistics are among the best in the entire championship: in 23 matches they have scored 38 goals and conceded just 19. In a fairly low-scoring tournament like the Ecuadorian championship, that is a very good balance. In their last 5 matches the team have won 4 times and drawn once. And the problems in attack came precisely away from home. They failed to break down Guayaquil City's defence (0:0). It is hard to expect the team to fulfil their potential to the maximum in this match.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In the upcoming match, both teams may pay close attention to defence. Yes, Universidad Católica can play with an attacking mindset. But this applies more to home games. Libertad's players will look to reduce the effectiveness of their opponents' attack. With the support of the stands and a fairly solid defensive setup, that is achievable. Our editors expect a low-scoring match and a corresponding result. We're going with Both Teams to Score (No).
