Copa Libertadores knockout stage begins with LDU Quito facing Mirassol
The Copa Libertadores round of 16 commences with a clash between LDU de Quito and Mirassol. This second leg encounter will take place on Friday, 21 August 2026, at 00:00 CET. Both teams will be looking to advance in South America's premier club competition.
With no key absences reported for either side, both LDU de Quito and Mirassol are expected to field strong lineups. The predicted XIs are not yet confirmed, but the availability of full squads suggests managers will have a wealth of options to choose from as they aim to progress in the tournament.
LDU de Quito's recent performances have been mixed. Their last outing was a 1-1 draw against Mirassol in the Copa Libertadores, a result that followed a 0-2 defeat to Independiente del Valle in the Serie A. Prior to that, they secured a 2-1 victory over Delfin and a 1-0 away win against Barcelona SC, indicating an ability to find wins but also periods of inconsistency.
Mirassol also comes into this tie having drawn their previous Copa Libertadores match 1-1 with LDU de Quito. Their recent form shows a 3-1 loss to Cruzeiro in the Serie A, preceded by two cup ties against Gremio, which ended in a 1-0 defeat and a 1-1 draw. They have shown they can secure victories, with a 2-1 win over Remo and a 1-1 draw against Vasco da Gama in league action.
The two sides have met on three previous occasions, all within the Copa Libertadores. The most recent encounter resulted in a 1-1 draw. Mirassol secured a 2-0 victory in one group stage meeting earlier in the year, while LDU de Quito won the reverse fixture 2-0. This suggests a closely contested history between the two clubs.
With the first leg ending in a draw, this second leg is finely poised. Mirassol has shown a tendency to concede late goals in their recent matches, having let in six goals after the 75th minute in their last 10 games. This could be an area LDU de Quito looks to exploit, while Mirassol will aim to maintain their defensive shape throughout the match to secure qualification.
