Though Libertad has started the season with a defeat, it has the potential and sound strength to rise in the standings of Liga Pro. Moving forward, Libertad was in action in February and is playing after a break of almost a week in the season. In the previous season, Libertad secured 15 wins and 56 points from 36 matches. In the last two Club Friendlies fixtures, Libertad scored 3 goals and conceded just 2. Hence, Libertad would have set high expectations from themselves ahead of the home game. With the likes of Armando Nevil Angulo and Anderson Alexander Naula in the side, Libertad can emerge victorious at home.

In the previous season, we saw Deportivo Cuenca struggling in away fixtures. However, for the upcoming contest, Deportivo Cuenca will be carrying reasonable confidence as they have managed a win against LDU de Quito (2-0), in which Enzo Lopez and Francisco Mera scored goals. Deportivo Cuenca will be looking to align their away record and capitalize on Libertad’s form, which is off-track. If Cuenca manages to score early in the half, Libertad will feel the heat.
