Central Cordoba vs LDU Quito prediction 03.04.2025 | Copa Libertadores

• Competition: Copa Libertadores
• Date: Thursday, 3rd April 2025
• Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades (Santiago del Estero)

Central Cordoba are far from a big Argentinian team, but last season, they shockingly won the Copa Argentina, their first major trophy, and secured a place in the Copa Libertadores group phase. Central Cordoba are solid in the current season with sixth position in their Apertura group with 18 points from 11 matches. However, the form of the team from Santiago del Estero is far from satisfactory as they have won only one of the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Argentinos Juniors. 

After another good season, LDU Quito secured another Copa Libertadores appearance. In 2025, they are second on the table, but with already four points fewer than the league leader, Barcelona SC. LDU Quito won three of the last four matches. Last weekend, they won 2-1 on the road against Deportivo Cuenca. Although the guests had ball possession and a number of shots on goal on their side, LDU Quito needed Alejandro Cabeza's goal from the second half's stoppage time to secure all three points. 

Central Cordoba vs LDU Quito pick: Under 2.5 goals

Central Cordoba have obvious problems with scoring goals. They scored only three goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, LDU Quito scored two goals in the previous two games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming game in Santiago del Estero.
