LWDDWW
Ecuador are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-1 WC Qualifiers - South America victory versus Colombia.
In that match, Ecuador managed 33% possession and 4 shots on goal with 1 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Ecuador was Enner Valencia (7'). Colombia had 25 shots on goal with 7 of them on target.
Under three goals per game were seen in 5 of the past 6 fixtures where Ecuador have taken part. Regarding the goal distribution during that period, their opponents scored a total of 1 while Ecuador managed the sum of 6.
Venezuela
DDLDLL ⚠
After a loss in their previous game against United States in International Friendlies action, Venezuela and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
The only player to score from Venezuela was Jorge Luis Yriarte (68'). Jack McGlynn (37') and Matko Miljevic (64') scored for United States.
The stats tell the story, and Venezuela have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 11 goals in total. Defensively, Venezuela seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. However, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might be maintained in this upcoming match.
👥
Head to head
Checking on their most recent head to head clashes going back to 02/06/2019 tells us that Ecuador have won 1 of them and Venezuela 2, with the number of drawn matches being 3.
13 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 6 of them for La Tri and 7 belonging to La Vinotinto. That is an average goals per game value of 2.17.
🧠
Prediction
We feel that in this game, Ecuador will probably fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they come up against Venezuela, who will not find it easy to score.
We’re therefore anticipating a decent 2-0 winning score for Ecuador at full-time.
