Although their season cannot be described as bad because they are near the top, it is clear that the rumors regarding the departure of coach Hernán Torres have taken away some stability from this team. For now, they are fifth with 24 points. With 17 goals, their offense still needs to improve, and their defense has been more porous, conceding goals in the last seven games.
Libertad de Loja is still struggling with its suspension and remains in last place with only three points. Not even adding the four points they have been deducted would get them out of the basement. No team has conceded more goals than this one (25) and has only eight goals scored.

Ecuador’s all-powerful leader is Independiente del Valle, a regular and balanced club. They have scored 22 goals, conceded only eight, and are the only unbeaten team in the tournament, with nine wins and five draws. It has kept clean sheets in three of its last five matches. It is the second-best home team in the tournament, with 17 points out of a possible 21. On the negative side, they have just been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, which may be a hard blow to swallow.
Orense has won two of its last four games and lost the other two, and it could be said that this is an acceptable stretch of its season. For now, the team is 12th with 15 points, with only three wins in 14 appearances. Away from home, they have conceded nine goals in seven outings.
