Defensa y Justicia vs LDU Quito Predictions

Goals are expected at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús in Wednesday's Copa Sudamericana semi-final second leg. As such, I'm taking a chance on BTTS and over 2.5 match goals.

Defensa y Justicia have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 10 matches (Copa Sudamericana)
Defensa y Justicia have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 home matches (Copa Sudamericana)
LDU Quito have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches against Defensa y Justicia
LDU Quito have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 7 away matches (Copa Sudamericana)
LDU Quito have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 6 matches (Copa Sudamericana)

Head to Head

The semi-final second-leg in Argentina will be the fourth match between Defensa y Justicia and LDU Quito since April 2022.

LDU Quito are unbeaten in their three previous matches against the hosts, including last week´s 3-0 win in Ecuador.

The Ecuadorians claimed a 2-1 win on their last visit to this venue in last season´s Copa Sudamericana group stage.

Defensa y Justicia Form

Defensa Y Justicia have endured a miserable couple of weeks after a 1-0 loss at Arsenal Sarandi extended their losing run to three games.

However, on their own patch, Julio Vaccari´s side are a different animal. Defensa remain unbeaten in their last 18 home games since April.

Thursday´s hosts have won their last five home Copa Sudamericana matches.

Defensa y Justicia Team News

Defensa y Justicia remain unable to call on top scorer Nicolas Fernandez as they look to overcome a three-goal deficit in Buenos Aires.

Kevin Gutierrez will also miss out as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

LDU Quito Form

Quito enjoyed a free weekend domestically after last week´s dominant first-leg victory against Defensa.

While famed for their strong home record at high altitude, the visitors are unbeaten in their last seven away Copa Sudamericana matches.

Coming into Thursday´s semi-final in Argentina, Luis Zubeldía´s side have lost just one of their previous 17 games in this competition.

LDU Quito Team News

Luis Zubeldía has a strong squad to choose from, with no fresh injury concerns after last week´s first-leg victory.

Alexander Alvarado is available after completing his suspension.

Veteran Peruvian forward Paulo Guerrero will lead the attack after his first-leg double in Quito.

Verdict

Defensa y Justicia v LDU Quito

With a three-goal deficit to overturn, Defensa y Justicia will need to adopt an attack-minded approach for Thursday´s second leg.

Given that expectation, I´m confidently backing BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in Buenos Aires.

BTTS Yes
