LDU vs Palmeiras: where to watch live?

How is LDU arriving for the match?

In the first phase, LDU achieved three victories, had two draws, and one loss. Thus, they advanced as the leader of group C, with Flamengo in second, both with 11 points. In the round of 16, they overcame Botafogo: lost the first leg but turned it around in the second leg and advanced. In the quarterfinals, they eliminated São Paulo with two victories (2-0 and 0-1).

The Ecuadorian team is 100% focused on the Libertadores semifinal, despite still being in two other competitions. The club had two postponed matches against Deportivo Cuenca, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Ecuador, and Independiente Del Valle, in the Ecuadorian Championship. Last Friday, LDU defeated Barcelona de Guayaquil, 3-0, in the national tournament.

How is Palmeiras arriving for the match?

Palmeiras is having a good campaign in the Libertadores. In the first phase, they had the best overall campaign, with a 100% success rate. In the round of 16, they eliminated Universitario-PER with a victory (0-4) and a draw (0-0). In the quarterfinals, they overcame River Plate-ARG with two victories (1-2 and 3-1). The Verdão has the best campaign and will decide the spot at Allianz Parque next week.

While LDU is 100% focused on the Libertadores semifinal, the team led by coach Abel Ferreira needs to split their focus with the Brasileirão. In the national tournament, Verdão is the leader with 61 points and is coming off a loss to Flamengo, 3-2, a result that took away Palmeiras' advantage at the top of the table. Between the semifinals, Verdão faces Cruzeiro.

Match history

Palmeiras and LDU have faced each other only twice. Both matches took place in 2009, during the group stage of that year's Libertadores. In Ecuador, Verdão lost 3-2, but in the second match, at Palestra Itália, they defeated the rival 2-0. That season, the Ecuadorians were eliminated in the group stage, while Alviverde reached the semifinals. This, however, is the first knockout clash between the clubs.
