👉 Our prediction is: LDU to win the 1st half

LDU will head in to face Manta FC with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping LDU to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Manta FC, at least until half-time.
