Palmeiras will welcome LDU Quito to Allianz Parque in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals on Thursday. The two teams met in the first leg last week and Quito registered a 3-0 home win. All three goals were scored in the first half.
The hosts met Cruzeiro in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday and were held to a goalless draw, extending their winless run across all competitions to three games.
Albos did not have any games scheduled over the weekend and should be well-rested here. They last made it to the final in 2008 and went on to lift the trophy that season.

Palmeiras vs LDU Quito Prediction
Alviverde have failed to score in their last two games, and will look to return to goalscoring ways in this home game. They have kept clean sheets in four of their five Libertadores home games this season. Their 3-0 defeat in the first leg was their biggest loss in the Libertadores in the 21st century.
Rey de Copas Ecuatoriano head into the match in great form. They have won four of their last five games and have scored 12 goals in that period. They are unbeaten in the Libertadores since August.
Verdão have a good home record this season, and should be able to eke out a narrow win, though it is unlikely that they'll be able to overturn a three-goal deficit.
