A place in the Copa Libertadores final is at stake when Palmeiras hosts LDU Quito on Thursday night.
The home side will face a monumental task after losing 3-0 in Ecuador in the first leg of the semifinal last week.
La U blew away the Brazilian outfit with three first-half goals and the Ecuadorian side could have put the tie out of reach by scoring even more.

As it stands, Palmeiras will need at least three unanswered goals to have a chance to face Flamengo in the final on Nov. 29 in Lima, Peru.
That will be a big ask of a Palmeiras side that enters this match on a three-game winless run, including a scoreless home draw against 10-man Cruzeiro on Sunday.
LDU Quito, meanwhile, had the weekend off and should enter Thursday’s game well rested.
