Editor's Prediction
Palmeiras are clear favorites for the second leg, but they will face a deep block and a packed defense from their opponents. To advance, they need to overcome a three-goal deficit, and doing so against LDU Quito, who are adept at shutting down games, will be extremely challenging. The visitors have been involved in low-scoring encounters: in their last seven Copa Libertadores matches, no more than three goals have been scored in each game. All signs point to the hosts controlling the game, but it's unlikely to be high-scoring. Our bet is on total goals under 3.5.
