LDU de Quito vs Delfin Prediction: Expecting Quito to Score Two Goals and Win at Home

In the upcoming fixture of Liga Pro Ecuador, Matchday 9, LDU de Quito will be up against Delfin at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado Stadium in Quito. With both teams finding themselves in the top eight standings, the upcoming matchup is likely to get them going. LDU Quito stands 6th with 4 wins and 13 points, whereas Delfin stands 7th with also 4 wins and 13 points. However, the reason behind the difference in their standings is the goal difference. Hence, teams will be looking forward to improving their goal difference by winning comprehensively. The two teams last played against each other in March at the stage of the Sudamericana qualification final. LDU de Quito won (4-0) quite handsomely. Hence, Quito will have the advantage of the previous win and is likely to maintain its recent winning form against Delfin.

With 2 defeats, 2 wins, and a draw in the last five matches played, LDU de Quito is struggling to find form and consistency across all tournaments. Coming off a goalless draw against Botafogo (0-0) in the recent match day of Sudamericana, Quito will be looking forward to maximizing its home strength against Delfin. With the presence of Ade, Rodriguez, Alvarado, and Gonzalez in the lineup, Quito will be hoping for a reasonable performance at home. In the last five matches played, Quito has scored 9 goals and conceded 3 across all competitions. Hence, the scoring and conceding average isn’t a point of concern; however, the short comings are due to low-scoring matchups against Orense and Barcelona SC. In the last two home outings, Quito has managed to secure a win and a defeat. 

Mosquera, Cadavid, Londono, Monroy, Palacios, Pardo, Torres, Ricaurte, Moreno, Valencia, Pons.

With 3 wins and 2 defeats in the last five matches played, Delfin will be looking forward to maximizing its strength and securing a spot in the top five table standings. In the last match against El Nacional (2-0), Nicolas Goitea and Justin Alman scored goals, giving their side a decisive win. In the last five matches played, Delfin has scored 9 goals and conceded 7, averaging 1.80 and 1.40, respectively. Hence, Delfin will be backing itself to score positively against Ldu de Quito. With the likes of Jefferson Nazareno, Braian Oyola, and Cristian Penilla in the lineup, Delfin will fancy its chances of scoring at least 2 goals. However, their recent away form is under the radar, as it has lost two back-to-back home matches in clean sheets.

Fernandez, Borges, Adelson, Cuesta, Maracal, Tche Tche, Pires, Junior, Joao, Jeffinho, Tiquinho. 

Considering the uneven form of Quito at home and Delfin’s losing away form, the upcoming matchup is likely to end in a draw, with both sides managing to score a goal each. However, the match’s fate could change instantly if Quito can score early in the peace, taking a lead of 2-0. I am expecting a total of over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. 

• Goals Over 2.5 for 1.65
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.99
• Correct Score 2-1 for 6.5
