Mushuc Runa was forced to move its home game against Emelec to Latacunga after the Estadio Olímpico de Riobamba failed to meet LigaPro's standards. According to Jimmy Roldán, the stadium has issues with its lighting and ongoing construction that prevents it from hosting matches, especially at night. Emelec, on the other hand, is riding high after a 2-1 victory over Orense and a 2-0 win against Independiente del Valle. Coach Vicente Sánchez will stick with the 3-5-2 formation that has brought them success.
