Ecuador vs Peru Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10th 2024
Ecuador will invite Peru to Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. The hosts resumed their qualification campaign with a loss last week while La Blanquirroja played out a draw.
La Tri met Brazil away from home in their previous outing and suffered a narrow 1-0 loss in a closely contested game. Rodrygo scored the only goal of the match in the first half to help the five-time World Cup champions to a win. The hosts failed to score for the fourth time in the qualifying campaign in that loss and will look to return to goalscoring ways.
The visitors were held to a 1-1 draw by Colombia last week as their winless run in the qualifying campaign continued. Alexander Callens' 68th-minute strike gave them the lead but Luis Díaz equalized for Colombia in the 82nd minute.

Ecuador vs Peru Prediction
La Tri failed to score for the third time in four games in the qualifying campaign last week and will look to improve upon that record in this home game. They are unbeaten in their last nine home games in the qualifiers, winning two of the last three, and are strong favorites.
Sebastián Beccacece suffered a loss in his first game in charge of the national team and will look to make a few changes to the starting XI. Angelo Preciado is back from a suspension and is expected to be included in the lineup.
La Bicolor returned to winning ways last week after drawing a blank in the Copa America group stage and will look to build on that form. Interestingly, they have won their last two away meetings against Ecuador, scoring four goals. No changes in the starting XI are expected in this match from Jorge Fossati.
Considering the current goalscoring form of the two teams and recent history, a draw will likely ensue.
Prediction: Ecuador 1-1 Peru
