LDU Quito form and stats
Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the 8th finals.Quito has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Tecnico Universitario defeat 127 days ago.
Quito travelled for their previous game, a trip to Union La Calera that ended 2-2. A 2-2 draw away in the Liga Pro before that, with Guayaquil City the opponent.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Quito matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and one defeat (from five games).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Quito as they are travelling to their away game against Independiente del Valle in the Liga Pro. That match is four days after this one.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the LDU Quito friendly games in pre-season: LDU Quito played one friendly, won 1, drew 0 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that LDU Quito scored 2 goals and conceded 0 in these one game.
Vélez Sarsfield form and stats
Vélez Sarsfield might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Flamengo proved too strong as Sarsfield slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio José Amalfitani. Before that, Sarsfield secured a home win against Huracan with the score 2-0.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sarsfield when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.
