H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
LDU Quito Team Overview
LDU Quito last played an official match on in the Ecuadorian Serie A, earning a 1-1 draw away to Deportivo Cuenca.
The key stats from that fixture (LDU Quito vs Deportivo Cuenca) were as follows:
- Possession: 44% vs 56%;
- Corners: 2 vs 3;
- Fouls committed: 17 vs 5;
- Yellow cards: 5 vs 1;
- Shots on target: 5 vs 7.
LDU Quito’s main strength lies in their rock-solid defence: they concede just 0.6 goals per game on average this season and have looked especially assured at home in the Copa Libertadores-five consecutive clean sheets underline this advantage. Their attacking numbers are less impressive, averaging only one goal per match, but they consistently convert chances against weaker opponents when playing in Quito.
The team are in excellent form, with three wins from their last five outings, proving they can compete at a high level even amid a congested fixture list. However, a victory in the upcoming match won’t guarantee top spot in Group G-Ecuador’s side must also hope Mirassol lose to Lanús in the parallel fixture.
Match Results: LDU Quito
Always Ready Team Overview
Always Ready last played an official match on in the fifth round of the Copa Libertadores, suffering a home defeat to group leaders, Brazilian side Mirassol (1-2).
Here are the key stats from that match (Always Ready vs Mirassol):
- Possession: 51% vs 49%;
- Corners: 3 vs 3;
- Fouls committed: 18 vs 9;
- Yellow cards: 4 vs 2;
- Shots on target: 2 vs 4.
Always Ready head into this fixture in low spirits. Over their last five Copa Libertadores outings, they have suffered four defeats and managed just one win-a clear sign of their inconsistency. Stretching the lens to their previous ten matches across all competitions, Always Ready have picked up four victories, suffered four losses, and drawn twice. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding an average of 1.2 goals per game-an issue that becomes even more pronounced against stronger opposition. Offensively, the visitors have hardly been prolific, averaging only 1.2 goals per match.
A win for the Bolivian side in Quito, combined with a Lanus defeat in the concurrent fixture, would secure Always Ready’s place in continental competition-a third-place finish in the group would see them advance to the Round of 32 in the Copa Sudamericana.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
LDU Quito enter as clear favourites, thanks to home advantage and their consistently higher level of play throughout the tournament. The hosts remain highly motivated, with top spot in the group stage still within reach. Always Ready, meanwhile, are also desperate for points and will likely try to put up a fight, refusing to let the match slip away early. However, a goal-fest seems unlikely, as LDU Quito's recent fixtures have rarely been high-scoring affairs: 20 of their last 21 matches have featured no more than three goals. In this context, backing under 3.5 goals appears to be a well-founded prediction.
