Ecuador’s Winless Run Against Brazil to Go On?

Ecuador have had a fine World Cup qualifying campaign, collecting 23 points from 14 games. La Tri have won seven, drawn five, and lost two. They have been superb at the back, shipping just five in 14.

Brazil’s campaign has been underwhelming, though they should still easily qualify for the World Cup. Little Canary sit fourth on 21 points after six wins, five losses, and three draws. Only leaders Argentina have scored more, but the Brazilians have conceded 16 in 14 qualifiers.

Back in March, Ecuador picked up a solid 0-0 draw with Chile in Santiago. They are unbeaten in seven qualifiers, winning four and drawing three. Their last defeat came in the reverse fixture in Brazil last September.

The Brazilians will still be hurting from March’s heavy 4-1 loss to rivals Argentina. However, the reverse in Buenos Aires was their first defeat in six qualifiers. Ancelotti will want to kick off his reign with a win on the road.

Ecuador vs Brazil Betting Odds

Despite being away from home, Ancelotti’s troops are the favourites in this one at 2.17. Ecuador are not an easy nut to crack these days, so their 3.70 price is generous. Also, you can get the decent odds of 3.05 for this to end all square.

Ecuador Win – 3.70

Draw – 3.05

September’s reverse fixture in Curitiba was a tight tussle. The Brazilians edged it thanks to Rodrygo’s 30^th-minute strike.

The last meeting on Ecuadorian soil finished level. Both teams had a player sent off after Casemiro’s early opener for Brazil. However, with 15 minutes to play, Felix Torres rescued a point for the hosts.

Brazil have an excellent recent record against Ecuador, unbeaten in 13 (nine wins, four draws). Their last defeat came in a World Cup qualifier back in November 2004.

On paper, there is not much to split these two South American powerhouses. Even though Brazil are the favourites, we can see the evenly matched nations playing out a draw. Take a punt on the draw and over 1.5 goals at 4.75.

Ancelotti knows Vinicius Junior well from their time together at Real Madrid, and the 24-year-old is looking to rekindle his magic touch for his nation under the new boss. Vini is available at 3.60 to score anytime in this one.
