Our prediction for the match Chile vs Ecuador
The Chileans are in a protracted crisis. This was confirmed at last year’s Copa America, when they lost to Argentina and brought goalless draws in the struggles with Peru and Canada – as a result, they went home after the group stage. Valencia and the company then reached the play-offs due to a victory over Jamaica and a draw in the confrontation with Mexico. Moreover, the team gave a fight to the Argentines. Having played a 1-1 draw, Emiliano Martinez once again won the penalty shoot-out there.
Ecuador started the qualifiers with -3 points, which was a punishment for the player who was naturalized on the basis of forged documents. Still, that penalty has long been compensated. Speaking about the autumn, Felix Sanchez Bas’s footballers, after Brazil’s defeat, got 11 points in 5 matches without conceding a single goal. Their opponents suffered continuous defeats in September and October. Finally, they managed to take a goalless draw in Peru and win a home game against Venezuela – 4-2.
The year 2025 began with a 6-1 victory for Gareca’s footballers! Still, that was in the February friendly match against Panama. As for the confrontation with Paraguay, which was held in the previous round, the team, having significantly more possession of the ball, did not respond to the only goal of the opponent and lost. At the same time, Venezuela came to Ecuador. The rival was confidently beaten thanks to a double by Valencia (there would have been a hat-trick, if he had converted a penalty). The team conceded the return goal in the 90th+ minute of the meeting, easily holding on to a 2-1 result.
