  May 7, 2025 Deportivo Táchira - LDU Quito Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo, San Cristóbal, Venezuela On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, Venezuelan side Deportivo Táchira will face Ecuadorian club LDU Quito in a return match of the Copa Libertadores group stage. The clash between teams that rely on foreign goalscorers promises an interesting confrontation of different statistical trends and historical records. Venezuelan teams have an excellent home record against Ecuadorian opponents in the Copa Libertadores - keeping clean sheets in eight of their last nine mutual matches (5 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss).

Deportivo Táchira have lost just one of their six home games against Ecuadorian teams in the Copa Libertadores (2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss). This single defeat came precisely in the most recent match - the aforementioned 1-4 loss to Emelec in May 2022. The "Aurinegros," a...

On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, they will make their first-ever appearance on Venezuelan soil, facing local side Carabobo FC in the group stage of South America's most prestigious club competition.

One of these instances occurred during the only time the Venezuelan team hosted a Brazilian opponent in this competition (0-0 against Atlético Mineiro in 2023).
