Prediction: 1-0
Ecuador
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Paraguay, Chile will be aiming to retain their spot in top four when they take on Ecuador at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo. La Roja are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the World Cup qualifiers, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Tuesday’s clash. The bad news for the hosts is that Ben Brereton Diaz is sidelined through suspension. As always, men to watch in the home team will be Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal.
La Tricolor, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Venezuela. The Ecuadorians are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but given their anything but good away record in the 2020 World Cup qualifiers, home win should be considered. Enner Valencia remains on the sidelines through injury for the visiting team.
