Chile

LLDWWL

Chile will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 WC Qualifiers - South America loss in their previous game against Paraguay.

In that match, Chile managed 64% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Paraguay had 16 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Omar Alderete (60') scored for Paraguay.

It has been all too rare in recent times that Chile haven’t conceded. The facts show that Chile have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 10 goals during that time.

Ecuador

WDDWWW 📈

Ecuador head into the encounter following a 2-1 WC Qualifiers - South America win in the defeat of Venezuela in their most recent outing.

In that match, Ecuador managed 71% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Ecuador was Enner Valencia (39', 46'). On the other side, Venezuela got 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Jhonder Cádiz (90') was the scorer for Venezuela.

A tendency of at least one team drawing a blank in games featuring Ecuador has become fairly consistent recently. Examining their last six outings reveals that it has happened 6 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal aggregate of 1 and Ecuador have scored 6. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this next game, of course.

💡 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Ecuador may well find it hard to break down this Chile lineup who we think should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re going for a 1-0 winning margin for Chile at the end of the 90 minutes.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
