Prediction: 1-1
Ecuador
Estadio Nacional in Lima will be the centre of attention when Peru and Ecuador lock horns in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. La Blanquirroja did well to hold star-studded Colombia to a goalless draw on Friday, but that is unlikely to help them book their spot at the next year’s showpiece tournament. Hope, though, dies last and we are positive that Oscar Ibanez’s men will go all guns blazing at Ecuador.
As both Pedro Aquino and Carlos Zambrano limped off with injuries in the last qualifying game, duo Erick Noriega – Luis Abram is expected to step up. La Tri, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil. Given that the visitors would likely settle for a point on Wednesday, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Ecuador star striker Enner Valencia remains in the recovery room, which goes in favour of our previous prediction.
Highlighted Team (Ecuador):
Ecuador had endured difficult times in footballing terms having been considered to be one of the more struggling football nations in South America, but the Tri have managed to transform themselves into a team that can never be taken lightly at the international scene.
Ecuador has taken part in three of the 22 World Cups with 12 position they achieved in 2006 in Germany being their best result so far. La Tricolor head into Copa America Centenario tied at the top of CONMEBOL’s World Cup qualifying table and their chances of making it through from group B have been increased with good results and alike performances.
Ivan Hurtado played for El Tri since 1992 to 2014 and former centre-back remains the most capped international with 168 games to his name. Ecuador captain Walter Ayovi is the active player with most games in the national team, while Felipe Caicedo with 19 goals is the top scorer of Gustavo Quinteros’ side.
