Preview (October 28, 2023):
Fortaleza
Fortaleza play with Juan Martín Lucero, an experienced Argentine poacher, ahead of Tomás Pochettino, a lively Argentine playmaker who breaks into attacking areas. A lot of their quality comes from wide areas with Guilherme and Marinho, although the latter is a serious injury risk.
If Marinho misses out, it may be Yago Pikachu who fills in. Despite his eccentric name, he is a far more predictable wide player who usually plays as an attacking fullback.
Overall, Fortaleza have a very experienced side of players who have proven themselves consistently in the Brazilian top flight. Almost all of their starters and important players are over the age of 30. The ceiling isn’t exceptionally high, but they are an organized, focused, and intelligent group of players.
This a strong and solid side with collective quality and individuals capable of winning games. A club that, throughout this season, have consistently performed close to the peak of their powers.
LDU Quito
LDU have benefited from the advantage of home games at the altitude of Quito with a squad that has a good mix of athleticism, experience, technical ability, and invention.
They have built a deep squad this season with a lot of quality. Leading the line they have Peru's World Cup star Paolo Guerrero, who boasts great intelligence and quality in the box.
They have experienced Argentine midfielders at the base of the midfield with Mauricio Martínez and Lucas Piovi paired with the exciting Ecuadorian international wingers Renato Ibarra and Jhojan Julio. Veteran national team goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez can be a match winner, but is also susceptible to some rash decisions.
Behind the striker, they have the options of the exciting Sebastián González (20) or the more experienced Alexander Alvarado (24), both players capable of opening up a game. They have a solid, if not exceptionally solid defense with Haitian Ricardo Adé the organizer.
