Ecuador vs Peru Prediction & Betting Tips (10 September)

Qualified for the 2022 World Cup at the end of which Ecuador beat Qatar in the opening round, before narrowly missing qualification 3rd, 4 points in Group A alongside the Netherlands 1st and Senegal 2nd, she is for the moment on the right road to qualifying for the next World Cup in the South America zone. Indeed, Ecuador is currently virtually qualified, before receiving the weakest training on the continent. Undefeated for 4 days before crossing swords with Brazil, Ecuador delivered a very good game of football although they lost the match in Curitiba 1-0. Opposite, Peru although 60% of the teams present in these qualifiers for the next World Cup in the South America zone will qualify for the 2026 World Cup, Peru is in a bad situation. Indeed, at the dawn of this 8th day, this team that the French team had dominated in the group stage 1-0 during the 2018 World Cup, occupies last place in the group with 3 points in 7 matches.

A totally unfavorable situation, but nothing too dramatic yet. Indeed, with 3 points on the clock, it could come back in the event of a victory tied on points with Paraguay 7th, a virtual play-off. In this regard, Peru has not lost its last 2 matches at the end of which it shared the points with Paraguay 0-0 and Colombia 1-1. 

If Ecuador has had better results in recent years it is due to the fact that its team has a good level of play and has great individuals. Many play in France, like Willian Pacho (Paris Saint-Germain) and Jhoanner Chávez (Lens) who proudly represent the country in Ligue 1. In England, Pervis Estupiñán shines at Brighton & Hove Albion, while Moisés Caicedo is having a good time at Chelsea, and Jeremy Sarmiento is showing his talent at Burnley, on loan from Brighton. A precursor of this new generation of young players, Piero Hincapié (38 salts - 2 goals) proudly wears the colors of Bayer Leverkusen. Suspended during the match against Brazil, Angelo Preciado (Sparta Prague) is back from suspension for Ecuador. Initially summoned, Cristian Ramirez (Ferencvaros) finally withdrew from this gathering. The problem for Peru is in the generational renewal which is slow to see the light of day.

The captains are all over 30 years old, like goalkeeper Pedro Gallese (110 caps), defender Luis Advíncula (120 caps), who provide stability and leadership, Edison Flores (77 caps, 16 goals) and without forgetting captain Gianluca Lapadula (9 goals in 36 caps), high-quality offensive asset for the Peruvians. In the defensive register, the latter have found refuge in the Danish championship in which there are 2 visiting defenders like Marco Lopez (40 salt, Copenhagen) and Olivier Sonner (5 salt, Silkeborg). Injured for weeks with his club A.Lima, Guerrero (122 salts - 39 goals) the top scorer in the history of the selection is not in the group, while Carillo (100 salts) was injured on the first day in the Saudi Pro-League. Initially called up, young striker Franco Zanelatto withdrew.
