Ecuador vs Paraguay Prediction & Match Preview

Ecuador vs Paraguay Prediction

Ecuador returned to winning ways after defeats to Argentina and Brazil as they dispatched Peru 1-0 last month in the seventh round of the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifications.

Enner Valencia made the difference in the mentioned victory, scoring his maiden goal of the campaign on the occasion.

Ecuador climbed to fourth position in the standings as a consequence with four wins in eight games.

They limited Peru to just two shots, none of which went on target. El Tri have generally been very tough to break down during this campaign, shipping no more than four goals in the inaugural eight affairs.

They’ll have a nice chance to continue their strong defensive form here against Paraguay who have found goals hard to come by so far in the competition.

The visitors found the back of the net just twice in eight games. One of these two goals came in a shocking 1-0 victory over the likes of Brazil last month, though.

This is a textbook example of a low-scoring scenario in a football game. Defensive lines are by far the stronger parts of both outfits.

None of Ecuador’s last four matches saw three or more goals scored. Paraguay have a goal difference of 2-3 in eight matches of the competition.

The fact they kept Brazil at bay a month ago speaks volumes about their current defensive rhythm.

The main bet will thus be Under 1.5 goals FT at the 2.37 odds while the braver tipsters can chase the HT/FT options.

You can back draw at the half time and Ecuador’s win at the end at the odds of 3.75. Ecuador have three wins and a draw in four home qualifiers in this term. We expect them to find the late winner against a stubborn Paraguay defence on Thursday.
