How to watch today's Sao Paulo vs LDU de Quito Copa Libertadores game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Brazilian heavyweights Sao Paulo face a daunting task as they look to overturn a significant deficit in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals against Ecuadorian champions LDU Quito.  

Last week in the first leg at Estadio de Liga Deportiva Universitaria, LDU Quito secured a 2-0 victory, with central midfielder Bryan Ramirez opening the scoring in the 15th minute and second-half substitute Michael Estrada doubling the advantage in the 78th minute.  

The Brazilian side's confidence has taken another hit, coming off a 1-0 defeat to Santos in the Serie A over the weekend. Sao Paulo's struggles are evident, having claimed only two wins in their last nine matches within regulation across all competitions.

LDU Quito will travel to Brazil brimming with confidence from their first-leg triumph, aware of Sao Paulo's inconsistent recent form. With momentum on their side, the Ecuadorian champions are likely to adopt a disciplined, defensive approach to protect their advantage and frustrate the home side.

Sao Paulo team news

Sao Paulo will be without several key players for this crucial Copa Libertadores clash. Luan is sidelined with a thigh injury until early October, while Andre Silva, Ryan Francisco, and Jonathan Calleri are all out long-term with cruciate ligament injuries, the latter not expected back until December. Midfielder Luiz Gustavo is also unavailable due to illness, further limiting the squad’s options.

LDU de Quito team news

LDU Quito coach Pablo Andres Sanchez is likely to field his strongest lineup, having rested key players over the weekend to prioritize this fixture. Sanchez favors a two-forward system, with 30-year-old Alex Arce leading the line. Arce has been in fine form, scoring four goals in the Copa Libertadores and adding three more in domestic competition. LDU will be without defender Richard Mina, who is suspended after a red card in the previous round against Botafogo.

Expect LDU to approach this game with a defensive mindset, aiming to protect their lead and book a spot in the semifinals. Goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle played a pivotal role in the first leg, pulling off critical saves to preserve Quito’s advantage. All eyes will be on Arce, whose finishing ability makes him the biggest threat to Sao Paulo's backline.
