Uruguay currently occupies third place in the group. However, the team has not won in four consecutive matches, which has raised some concerns among fans and football experts.
Of course, Uruguay is a much better side than Ecuador, but the team has issues offensively. The midfield occasionally struggles to deliver the ball to Darwin Nunez, and the Liverpool forward does not get too many chances.
Nevertheless, playing at home, they feel very confident and have not lost for a long time. On home soil, the Uruguayans beat Chile, Brazil and Bolivia. José María Giménez, Darwin Nunez and Mathias Olivera will return after serving a suspension. Otherwise, there are no notable absences in the squad.
Ecuador is known for its reliable defence, allowing the team to effectively thwart opponents’ attacks. Following a pragmatic style of play, it focuses on discipline, which often brings positive results in home matches.
However, the team is less successful away from home. In four matches, Ecuador had only one victory, and that occurred against Bolivia, one of the weakest sides in the Qualifiers.
The standout player in Ecuador is Moises Caicedo. The Chelsea midfielder is the team’s stalwart and does a huge amount of work all over the pitch. Nevertheless, he lacks proper support from his teammates.
Bet hereUruguay historically played well against Ecuador on home soil. Since 1939, they have not lost a single game, which is a remarkable result. If we take a shorter period, the Uruguayans have beaten Ecuador in the last three H2H matches with a total score of 7:1.
Ecuador is playing very poorly in the current away qualifiers. In four meetings, they have only won once—against Bolivia (2-1), and even this game was decided in the last minutes.
Uruguay will try to bounce back in front of fans, and we expect a confident performance from them. Our pick for this match would be for Uruguay to win.
In three qualifying matches involving Uruguay this year, only one goal was scored. Ecuador is not doing better in this regard. In the same three matches, we have witnessed only two goals.
Uruguay’s attack is not as prolific as we are used to seeing. On the other hand, Ecuador is extremely good against opponents that rely on physical strength and set pieces.
The last H2H meeting at Uruguay’s home arena ended with a victory for the hosts with a minimum score. We do not expect to see a high-scoring affair in this match, as both sides will likely focus on the defence. Our betting tip in this encounter is under 2.5 goals.
