Competition: Copa Libertadores
Market: LDU Quito win
Odds: 2/5 @ Pribet
Knowing that they can officially wrap up their Copa Libertadores knockout stage ticket late on Tuesday night, LDU Quito will welcome Always Ready to Ecuador.
Starting with the hosts, last seen in Copa Libertadores action claiming a rugged 2-0 victory at home against Argentinian outfit Lanus, LDU Quito will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. Despite signing off April in the midst of a minor rut, Tiago Nunes’ men have largely come bouncing back. With their sights set on securing a silver medal finish among Ecuador’s elite this season, Los Reyes have registered 10 points from their previous four appearances across all competitions. Sat in pole position to extend on their Copa Libertadores adventure and opening Tuesday’s showdown sat in second-place, Nunes’ side will feel that they have been handed a golden opportunity here. Likewise, LDU Quito will also be excited by their extended dominance at the Casa Blanca. Along with winning their last three consecutive showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 5-1, they are also unbeaten in their previous five matchups on home soil (four wins, one draw).
As for the visitors, seeking what is a minor miracle ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Ecuador, Always Ready have another stern challenge on their hands here. Sat bottom of the Group G standings and pencilled in as a real underdog contender on foreign soil, El Millonario have failed to find any kind of stability. Last seen in Copa Libertadores action getting hit with a 2-1 defeat at home against Mirassol, they have suffered back-to-back losses for the first time since opening up the 2026 campaign. Likewise, including a toothless 1-0 defeat against bitter domestic foes The Strongest, Tuesday’s guests have also shown some real issues in the final third. In fact, Always Ready have notched just a sole strike in over 270 minutes of action. It should also be highlighted, Julio Cesar Baldivieso’s side have claimed just a single win from any of their previous seven straight showdowns on the road – a run that stems back to February 27th. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class, we are backing a home victory on Tuesday night.
