International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Unión La Calera and LDU Quito are looking forward to this Copa Libertadores fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
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 Unión La Calera and LDU Quito.
These teams have little in common geographically as LDU Quito have to travel 4900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Unión La Calera form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Unión La Calera's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán Nazar.
Calera drew their last game, also a home match. Audax Italiano was the opponent, 1-1 the score. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Santiago Wanderers.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

The manager L. Marcogiuseppe will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to O'Higgins in only three days.

LDU Quito form and stats
They also participated in Copa Libertadores last season. This ended in the 8th finals.Things are running smoothly for LDU Quito who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Tecnico Universitario. The awayteam now has five consecutive draws when travelling away from home.
Quito has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Guayaquil City for a Liga Pro game that ended a draw (2-2). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Manta.
A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Guayaquil City. Quito were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 2-2, with M. Corozo scoring the equalizer. As mentioned above, Quito drew the match against Guayaquil City. Manager P. Repetto Aquino brought on M. Corozo to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by LDU Quito in our archives, and the results are: one win for LDU Quito, five draws and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as LDU Quito are hosting Macara in the Liga Pro only three days away.
