Libertad are currently sitting in mid-table, but they are in some of the better form they have shown recently - four wins and a draw from their last five matches, the most recent of which was a 2-2 draw with Guayaquil City. There are clear defensive vulnerabilities, and against one of the league's leading sides those could well be exposed. They concede an average of 1.16 goals per match overall, dropping to 0.92 at home, but the likelihood of conceding is still very high. Going forward, they are a solid mid-table side - at home they average 1.33 goals per game, and a goal from a counter-attack or a set piece is a realistic prospect.

Macara Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Copa Sudamericana tournament (home team - Macara, away - Santos). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.

Even away from home they average 1.25 goals scored per match, which ranks third in the division for attacking output. Defensively on the road they sit around mid-table, conceding 1.17 per game - and against a Libertad side who are particularly aggressive, they could well be tested.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both sides have very impressive attacking units. That doesn't mean this will be an end-to-end affair, but relative to the rest of the league, this match could be a comparatively open one. Libertad are bold at home, often looking to take the initiative even against top opposition. Macará will respond in kind - their attack looks well-grounded, and one of the league's leading sides will create chances of their own. We think the attacking quality on both sides will outweigh the defensive, which makes Both Teams to Score - Yes the logical bet here.
