Latest football prediction LDU Quito vs Central Cordoba
After a six-game unbeaten streak from mid-April to mid-May, LDU Quito are now going through a difficult period in all competitions, picking up just one point in their Ecuadorian league and Copa Libertadores group stage matches.
Their most recent domestic outing came on Saturday afternoon, when goals from Mauro Diaz and Jose Fajardo gave Universidad Catolica a 3-1 home win, despite Michael Estrada grabbing a temporary equaliser for the visitors in the second half.
In the Copa Libertadores, LDU Quito also suffered defeat in their trip to the Maracana on May 16, when goals from Leo Ortiz and Luiz Araujo gave Flamengo a 2-0 victory in front of more than 65,000 spectators.

Despite losing just one match in the first five rounds, LDU Quito is still outside the top two positions in Group C with just one round left, three points behind Central Cordoba and level on points with Flamengo.
In contrast, Central Cordoba are one of four teams that have remained unbeaten in the group stage, with three wins and two draws after five matches, thereby accumulating an impressive 11 points.
El Ferroviario’s last two games were both in the Copa Libertadores, where they picked up four points: a draw at home to Flamengo on May 8 and a comfortable win over Deportivo Tachira – the weakest team in Group C – in Venezuela on May 13.
It looked as though Central Cordoba would have to share the spoils in that game when Bryan Castillo equalised for the struggling home side after Jonathan Galvan's opener, but Gaston Veron scored the decisive goal to give the visitors all three points.
This year's Copa Libertadores campaign has been a bright spot amid a poor run of form domestically, where El Ferroviario are on a five-game losing streak.
