Palmeiras head into their Libertadores quarter-final clash against LDU in a period of inconsistent form. 'Verdão' have lost the lead in the Brasileirão to Flamengo and have accumulated three consecutive draws in the national competition. Now, Abel Ferreira's side turns its attention to the continental tournament. For the match, the manager will be without four players: Andreas Pereira, who is suspended, as well as Paulinho, Ramón Sosa, and Jefté, who are injured.
LDU arrive at the match in a more positive frame of mind. The Ecuadorian side beat Técnico Universitario in the last round of the national championship, with their key players on the pitch, and arrive confident to face Palmeiras. In the round of 16, the team eliminated Mirassol and now face 'Verdão' again, an opponent they also met in the 2025 semi-final, when they were defeated.
