El Nacional - LDU Portoviejo: our prediction

El Nacional has not won a single one of their last 10 matches and has a very weak attack (only 8 goals scored in 10 matches according to the parou05 indicator). LDU Portoviejo, although favorite, has only scored 7 times in 10 matches. Both teams have a strong tendency towards 'under 2.5' (El Nacional 50%, LDU Portoviejo 70%). LDU Portoviejo's defense is relatively solid (3 clean sheets), which should limit El Nacional's chances. A low-scoring match is very likely.

LDU Portoviejo is the logical favorite for this match. El Nacional is in catastrophic form (0 wins, 7 defeats in 10 matches). LDU Portoviejo, although not in great form either, has a more respectable record (2 wins, 4 draws) and has shown better defensive solidity. The odds (2.1 for LDU Portoviejo) confirm this favorite status. LDU Portoviejo's victory is the most likely scenario.

Although both teams have shown some ability to score (El Nacional 80% of matches with goals scored, LDU Portoviejo 70%), the recent trend and offensive weakness of El Nacional (0 wins, ineffective attack) make this bet risky. Furthermore, LDU Portoviejo has managed to keep a clean sheet on 3 occasions in 10 matches. The probability of both teams scoring is therefore low, but not zero.
