Ecuador and Saudi Arabia square off at Sports Illustrated Stadium in what should be an interesting international friendly between two World Cup-bound nations. As both sides are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach, we predict a 1-1 draw. Ecuador enter the match unbeaten in their last ten games in all competitions, although draws have become a frequent outcome for La Tri, with eight of those ten matches ending level. The South Americans have been extremely solid at the back, conceding only 0.4 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 60% of their recent outings. However, Ecuador could be weakened offensively as key attacker Enner Valencia is unlikely to be risked due to a minor injury. Defensive stars Willian Pacho and Piero Hincapie are also unavailable because of their involvement in the Champions League final.
Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup finals and will look to take advantage of Ecuador’s absences. The Saudis have been inconsistent lately, but they remain dangerous on the counterattack, especially away from home where they average 1.5 goals per match. Captain Salem Al-Dawsari is expected to be the biggest threat after scoring 26 goals in 107 appearances for his country. Even so, Ecuador’s disciplined defensive structure could make this a low-scoring affair.
As Ecuador’s last ten matches averaged just 1.1 total goals per game, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This match will be played on Sunday 31 May 2026 at 00:30.
