Mirassol vs LDU Quito: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from São Paulo only made its national Serie A debut last year—and immediately finished fourth. However, this season, they have not only dropped off but are also under threat of relegation. The visitors from Quito were runners-up in Ecuador in 2025. Now, they risk finishing outside the top six.
In the Copa, the Brazilian debutant started with a win over Lanús. Afterwards, they lost to LDU Quito. But then they won three consecutive matches, including a home win over the Ecuadorians, which allowed them to progress from the group—albeit in second place.
The Ecuadorians began with two wins, including one over the Brazilians. The latter got their revenge, and LDU also finished with a 0-1 defeat away to Lanús. However, a strong finish—consecutive home wins over the Argentinians and Always Ready—allowed them to top the group, even though they earned the same twelve points as the Brazilians.
