The Copa Sudamericana round of 16 will get underway this week, and on Friday morning, we will see Nublense play host to LDU Quito in the first-leg encounter at Estadio Municipal Ester Roa Rebolledo.

The hosts come into the match off the back of a 2-1 win over O'Higgins, while the visitors have had over a month off, and they will now lock horns over two legs for a place in the quarter-final against either San Lorenzo or Sao Paulo.

While the visitors come into the match with a better record in the first half of the season, they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last four away matches and may find it difficult to keep a clean sheet in this one as well.

The hosts have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, unbeaten in their last five, and cannot be counted out of the contest just yet. Our feeling is that these sides will cancel each other out by the final whistle.

南美杯16强将于本周开始，周五上午，我们将在雷波莱多体育场看到努布伦塞主场迎战基多LDU的首回合比赛。

东道主在2-1战胜奥希金斯后迎来了这场比赛，而客队已经休息了一个多月，现在他们将在两回合的比赛中争夺1 / 4决赛的席位，对手要么是圣洛伦佐，要么是圣保罗。

虽然客队在上半赛季的战绩更好，但他们在最近的四场客场比赛中每场都至少丢了一个球，可能很难在这场比赛中保持零封。

东道主在最近几周表现出了进步的迹象，在过去的五场比赛中保持不败，现在还不能被淘汰出局。我们的感觉是，这两支球队将在终场哨声响起前相互抵消。
