Libertad Loja Team Overview
Libertad are in excellent form right now - the best in the league at this point. They have won four and drawn one of their last five matches, including a recent 1-0 victory over Macará. However, their away record is less impressive. On the road, they average 0.92 goals scored and 1.38 conceded per game. In those circumstances, the team can hardly afford to play in an overly open fashion, especially given that their opponents may set up in a purely defensive manner. Libertad have no intention of giving them space to counter-attack.

Total Goals Prediction
Under 3.5 goals has been the outcome in 12 of Aucas's last 13 matches, pointing to a consistent pattern of low-scoring results. The average goals scored per match this season is also modest for both sides: Aucas average 1.15 per game, Libertad 1.12. On top of that, the average number of goals conceded by both teams has not exceeded 1.2 in their recent matches. All of this suggests another low-scoring game is likely, making Total Goals - Under 3.5 a reasonable selection at 1.31*.
Corners Prediction
Libertad have won more than 2.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 Serie A matches. That trend points to a consistent pattern for the team in this area, making the following bet worth considering: Libertad Team Total Corners - Over 2.5 at odds of 1.67*.
Reliable Bet
Both teams have modest scoring averages: Aucas and Libertad are finding the net just over once per match this season, and the low-scoring trend for Aucas is backed up by Total Goals - Under 3.5 landing in 12 of their last 13 matches. With that in mind, Total Goals - Under 4 at 1.21* looks even more reliable given how rarely that threshold is exceeded.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
This match looks set to be a cautious affair on both sides. Aucas at home can show plenty going forward, but their defensive frailties do surface at times - keeping a clean sheet with few players back can be difficult. Libertad, despite being in good shape, will adapt to their opponents. The away factor in the Ecuadorian league is always a significant challenge. Our editorial team believes that both sides' defensive qualities will outweigh their attacking ambitions. We're backing Total Goals - Under 2.5.
