Ecuador is taking a trip to Estadio Campeón Del Siglo to battle against Uruguay in their last 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers match of the month. La Tri look forward to retain their spot in top four, but taking down Uruguay on the road is easier said than done. We expect an entertaining showdown on 10th September 2021 at 01:30.
Uruguay come into this match following 4-2 win against Bolivia in the previous World Cup Qualifiers fixture. They were on top of that game with; 55% possession, 19 shots with 11 of them on target and goals scored by Uruguay Giorgian De Arrascaeta 15’, 67’ (P), Federico Valverde (31’) and Agustin Alvarez Martinez (47’). The opponents got 45% possession, eight shots with five on target and goals by Marcelo Martins Moreno 59’, 84’ (P).
Ecuador in their previous World Cup Qualifiers match was held to a goalless draw in a fairly equal match by Chile. In that match, they managed 54% possession and 11 shots with four of them on target. Chile on their side got 46% possession, and 11 shots with three on target.
Both teams are in good form and they are separated by just one point in the standings. However, the last four duels between the two have ended with the home team taking the win. In this case we bid for Uruguay being at home to take the win.
