Uruguay vs Ecuador Prediction & Match Preview

Uruguay vs Ecuador Prediction

Uruguay continued their slump in form on Friday, falling 0-1 at the hands of Peru. It was Peru’s maiden win of the whole World Cup qualifying campaign so far.

Uruguay were toothless on Friday in Asuncion, extending their goalless thread to three straight qualifiers.

La Albiceleste have failed to find the back of the net since the Copa America elimination this summer.

They are still third in the World Cup qualifying standings mainly thanks to a couple of huge wins over heavyweights Argentina and Brazil in late 2023.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men are hoping to return to winning ways on Tuesday night in the home fixture against Ecuador in Montevideo.

Ecuador continued their strong campaign with a decent display against Paraguay on Thursday.

El Tri were the better side on the pitch but they just couldn’t get the job done in the final third, failing to break the deadlock eventually.

Sebastian Beccacece’s men have, however, conceded only four goals in nine opening outings in the qualifying campaign.

Uruguay will receive a major boost in the return of Darwin Nunez who will lead the line after the suspension repeal.

Nunez will hope to bring joy to the nation that has struggled to watch their players failing offensively in the previous three rounds.

Uruguay own a strong home record in this qualifying campaign with three wins and a draw in four home fixtures this term.

They have managed a goal difference of 8-1 along the way as well. Ecuador, on the other side, notched only two goals in four away outings in this term.

The main pick is home win at the 1.72 odds while we also like the 2.40 odds offered for Darwin Nunez to score anytime.

Liverpool’s forward has five goals to his name for La Albiceleste in this qualifying term.
