Palmeiras vs LDU de Quito is available to watch live in the United States. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Palmeiras host LDU de Quito in the Copa Libertadores, with Abel Ferreira's side looking to assert their authority in what promises to be a demanding continental test at home.
Palmeiras arrive at this fixture carrying mixed recent form. Three draws from their last four matches — including a goalless Copa do Brasil second leg against Santos and a 0-0 Serie A stalemate with Botafogo — suggest a side that has steadied rather than accelerated heading into this tie. Their 3-0 Copa do Brasil first-leg win over Santos earlier in the run remains the clearest statement of their quality in recent weeks.
Off the pitch, Palmeiras have had reasons for quiet satisfaction. The €40 million sale of Allan to Manchester City has been received internally as validation of their academy model, and the squad's ability to compete across three competitions without significant disruption speaks to the depth Ferreira has built.
LDU de Quito arrive in Brazil with genuine continental pedigree and a squad that has been finding form at the right moment. Tiago Nunes' side have won three of their last five matches, including a 3-1 away win over Tecnico Universitario, and they will not be short of confidence against a Palmeiras team that has drawn its last three games.
The head-to-head record between these clubs in the Copa Libertadores adds a layer of genuine tension to this fixture. Both sides have beaten each other heavily in recent meetings, and neither will approach this match without respect for what the other can produce.
