When you look back at the most recent meaningful clashes involving these sides, that 2025 Serie A encounter in Loja stands out: Libertad edged Deportivo Cuenca 2‑1 in a tight match where Cuenca initially took the lead before being pegged back. That game underlined how small the margins are between them and how quickly momentum can swing. Since then, Cuenca have tried to become more pragmatic in managing leads, while Libertad have focused on sharpening transitions and set‑piece routines. Those adjustments, layered over months of league competition and preseason work, now feed directly into the tactical chess match expected in this Sudamericana showdown.

All of that context makes this qualifier feel less like a typical early‑round tie and more like a continuation of an evolving rivalry. Cuenca’s home advantage, slightly deeper squad cohesion, and recent emphasis on defensive balance suggest they may be better equipped to control the rhythm, even if chances are at a premium. Libertad’s threat on the counter cannot be ignored, but if Cuenca manage to impose their structure and avoid the lapses that hurt them in 2025, a narrow home victory looks the likeliest outcome—our correct‑score prediction leans toward a tight 1:0 in favour of Deportivo Cue
