The first of two encounters in the Copa Sudamericana Quarter-finals, as the hometeam LDU Quito will try to edge Athletico PR in their own ballpark.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Athletico PR have to travel 6200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
LDU Quito form and stats
The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio de Liga Deportiva Universitaria.
Quito drew their last game, 2-2 away at Universidad Catolica. D. Reasco was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Universidad Catolica after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? J. Alcivar felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Universidad Catolica as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 45th minute.
Before that, LDU Quito had a Liga Pro home game versus Olmedo which ended with a victory 4-0.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Quito's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played seven games, won five matches, drawn zero and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Liga Pro game versus Deportivo Cuenca in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio de Liga Deportiva Universitaria.
