There are only two matches left in the Ecuadorian campaign, and Barcelona SC are fighting with LDU Quito for the crucial second place that guarantees a Copa Libertadores group-stage spot.

Barcelona SC currently trail by two points, meaning a victory here against Orense would allow them to climb above their rivals. This match is particularly important because their final fixture is against league leaders Independiente del Valle, a far tougher challenge.

For Orense, motivation is low. Even with two wins, they cannot significantly improve their league position, which reduces their competitive edge.
