Both clubs are aiming for their first Libertadores title and LDU aims to be the first Ecuadorian club to lift the title.

LDU won the first-leg, 4-2, in Quito at high altitude and Flu coach Renato Portaluppi believes things will be much different at Maracana Stadium.

"They had their chance and didn't take it," said Portaluppi. "Now, it's our turn. The supporters can go to the Maracana and they will leave happy. I can guarantee that."

Flu striker Washington said, "LDU's best player, the altitude, is not coming."

The Brazilians won their last six Libertadores Cup home games.
