    Why are LDU Quito such favourites?
    LDU Quito (LLDWD) vs Vélez Sarsfield (WWLWD) in the Copa Libertadores

    Velez Sarsfield won the last leg 3-0 (at home)

    Since then they've beaten Estudiantes 4-0 (away)

    While LCD Quito lost 1-0 against Emelec (away)

    From previous results, I can't see any big advantage LDU have had playing at home, while Velez have had excellent away form

    Velez are 5/2 draw no bet

    Altitude factor is one part - Google Earth is your friend.

      LDU might be one of the best home teams in South America. Plus they play at like 2850 meters of altitud just like SRBI said.

          Velez's Silva is out, who I believe scores a lot of goals so I hear.

            Ah, thought there must be something

            What about the odds for LDU then, 7/10 to win?

              I like LDU for 2 factors. One being the obvious great home international record when the other team can't breathe. The other being Velez can lose this match and still advance being up 3-0 on aggregate. LDU -133 is at steal IMO.

                Ldu Quito is the best home team in south America they beat Penarol (who yesterday beat internacional in brazil) 5 - 0 and it was a massacre that altitude is too much of an advantage

                  Is it just me or every time I'm watching an LDU match the lights go out?

                    Haha, ya it definitely seems that way. LDU needs to get on the board if they come back on!

                      LDU putting on some good pressure. One just off the crossbar.

                      Damn, another close miss.

                          Air was let out of LDU when they went down 1-0.

                          So many missed early chances too

                              Big home advantage built into Quito lines.

                                games over already, the lost 2-0 like I thought they would

                                guess playing at a high altitude doesn't make up for a team with bad form playing a team with good form...
