Ecuador vs Brazil Preview and Team News
Ecuador Team News
Ecuador have had a convincing WC Qualification run so far. With 23 points, they occupy second place in the standings, eight behind Argentina. Most likely, the hosts will appear at the 2026 World Cup.
After losing to Brazil in September 2024, Ecuador followed with a seven-game unbeaten streak, during which Sebastián Beccacece’s team won four games. Although their last game against Chile was below par, they managed to avoid defeat.
The team’s talisman and perhaps the best player of all time, Enner Valencia, has been called up again, and we expect him in the starting lineup. Chelsea’s best player of the season, Moises Caicedo, will captain the midfield.
Ecuador predicted lineup vs Brazil (4-2-3-1): Galíndez; Estupinan, Pacho, Hincapie, Preciado; Caicedo, Vite; Plata, Yeboah, Rodriguez; Valencia.
Brazil Team News
Brazil will start the international break with a new head coach, none other than Carlo Ancelotti. After leaving Real Madrid, he was appointed to the Brazilian national team, and hopes are high for the Italian manager.
In the previous game, the visitors suffered a painful defeat against their ultimate arch-rivals Argentina (4-1). They looked completely disorganized and the result displayed the mismatch on the pitch. There was no connection between the players, which eventually took its toll.
Ballon d’Or contender Raphinha will try to score his sixth goal in the current qualifiers. Meanwhile, Ancelotti has almost all key players at his disposal, and we anticipate a revived Brazil in the upcoming clashes.
Brazil predicted lineup vs Ecuador (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Sandro, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Vanderson; Casemiro, Guimaraes; Raphinha, Cunha, Vinicius Jr; Richarlison.
Ecuador vs Brazil Prediction
- Pick: Brazil to Win
- Odds: +121 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Ecuador 0-1 Brazil
Brazil will surely be different under Ancelotti, which is a massive boost for the guests. The current display is far from ideal and while the hosts have zero chances of finishing out of the top six, they will play with a different mood against Ecuador.
The hosts, on the other hand, are resilient at home, and Brazil won’t have an easy trip here. However, if we take a look at the H2H stats, Ecuador have not beaten Brazil since 2004.
Brazil will try to bounce back after a humiliating defeat against Argentina and the powerful front line of the visitors should be enough to bring a victory. Our first pick here would be Brazil to win.
Ecuador vs Brazil Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -176 (20Bet)
Ecuador have the strongest defence in the current qualifiers, conceding only five goals in 14 matches, which is a remarkable indicator. Under Sebastián Beccacece, they barely allow the opponents any chance and rely on their strong defence.
Nevertheless, they have only scored 13 goals, which also speaks about the lack of creativity in the offence. Brazil struggle against teams that close down open spaces, and the guests’ fast wingers will have a difficult time.
Also, the last five H2Hs ended with fewer than three goals scored, and we expect a low-scoring affair in this one. Therefore, our second pick would be under 2.5 goals.
