Independiente del Valle vs Nacional: Storylines
Independiente aren’t having the best moment in the Ecuadorian Serie A, ranking 10th right now. They have won two games, lost two and tied one in their last five domestic matches. This squad are seen as a dark horse to win this tournament, as crazy as that sounds, given how well they performed last season in the Copa Sudamericana.
Nacional are stronger than ever after a series of consecutive wins. El Bolso have won four of their last five matches, losing their most recent game against Danubio last Saturday. It’s been a lot since Nacional won this tournament for the last time. They want to change that this year and Independiente will be their first obstacle between them and glory.
