Ecuador vs Uruguay Prediction & Betting tips
In South America, qualification for the next soccer World Cup has just begun. Even if the next major event will not take place until 2022, the national teams have to prove themselves now, because of course everyone wants to be there.
In the game Ecuador vs. Uruguay see the betting odds of the bookmakers the hosts at an advantage. In any case, Uruguay should have the right to make everything clear early on in the qualification, because after all they are a top 10 team in the world rankings. So are the betting providers wrong in allocating odds?
Although Equador can always come up with good performances in their own stadium, it will be difficult for every team against European superstars like Suarez or Bentancur, who, despite the current circumstances, have taken on the shortcomings to travel to the national team.
Ecuador:
The last time Ecuador made it to a World Cup finals was eight years ago. If the team of coach Gustavo Alfaro, who incidentally only took his place in the Andean nation’s dugout this year, qualifies again eight years later, it would be a little surprise. In recent years, Ecuador has not presented itself particularly well and the competition in South America is known to be fierce.
After only one game was played in 2020, which incidentally ended in a 1-0 defeat, it is advisable to take a closer look at the previous year.
In the Copa America held last summer, Ecuador was eliminated without a win in its group in the preliminary round. The nine friendlies that were completed were not exactly crowned with success either, as only three of them could be won. It is no coincidence that “La Tri” is only 64th in the FIFA world rankings.
With Alfaro as the new strong man, a fresh wind should now blow through the team and the goals are set higher again. However, the coach has barely had time to set new accents.
It should also be noted that Ecuador does not necessarily have a star-studded troupe. As a top star, striker captain Valencia can most likely be identified, otherwise nobody earns their money at a top European club. The new coach is therefore quite limited in the selection of players.
That is why it is not entirely clear to us why the bookmakers provide the hosts with the clearly worse odds and thus make them the favorites. In the game Ecuador vs. Uruguay is most likely to justify a prognosis for the home team because Ecuador won three of the last four home games, all in 2019.
A tip on the home team is therefore not an option from our point of view. In the best betting provider category, you can find out more about the reliability and quality of the various bookmakers.
Uruguay:
The star troupe from Uruguay was able to successfully start the World Cup qualifying with a win against Chile. The renewed participation in a major event should now be made clear in a hurry. In view of the many strong opponents in South America, duels against teams like Ecuador must actually be seen as a mandatory task for the Urus.
Top star Suarez has obviously lost nothing of his old form, despite the change to Atletico in the summer. In the first game for the new club he tied a brace and on Friday against Chile he was also on the scorers list. Ecuador should be specially warned against him.
Anyone who thinks that Uruguay is dependent on the star’s performance is seriously wrong. Although Cavani is currently not in the game, especially in midfield, with players like Bentancur and Valverde, the best quality is offered.
With defense veterans like Godin and Caceres, Uruguay is also excellently positioned defensively. The result are extremely few goals. In the past two years, more than one goal was conceded. Uruguay did not lose a single game in regular time in 2019.
In view of the outstanding odds, the game Ecuador vs. Uruguay a tip on the guests difficult not to recommend. Even a B-team should have every chance of a complete success against Ecuador and the back team around captain Godin will hardly allow the hosts to score any chances.
