It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Santos and LDU Quito.

LDU Quito form and stats
Quito was sent out of Copa Libertadores in the quarter-finals last season, when Boca Juniors turned out to be too strong.When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 4W-0D-3L. This is both home and away.
Quito go into this game after a win, the home game against Olmedo that ended 3-0. A 1-2 loss hosting Santos before that.
Quito delivered their win in the match against Olmedo already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!
LDU Quito are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of two matches.
The schedule is very tough for LDU Quito now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga Pro game at Universidad Catolica is waiting in only four days.
