Ecuador Colombia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This duel marks the meeting between two teams that have been doing very similar campaigns so far in the World Cup Qualifiers, as they are separated by only one point, with both having chances of qualification. However, Colombia appear ahead, with a defense slightly less leaked than their opponent, but with a less efficient attack. As the home team, Ecuador has been showing a great performance, having lost only to Brazil. Colombia have won two games as a visitor. Thus, we expect a balanced game, with the draw a good betting option, but with favoritism for the owners of the house.

Preview
Ecuador and Colombia face , in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification South America (1st Round). In 2 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 2. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Ecuador

The home team is currently in the 5th position, with 20 points won, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Venezuela by (3‑0). In the last round, they have lost an away match against Paraguay by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 6 WC Qualification South America home matches Ecuador has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 12 of the last 12 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 10 out of 12 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Ecuador play their third appearance in 2017, but the second by the qualifying round for the World Cup Qualifiers, and the first official in front of their fans this season. Thus, the Ecuadorian National Team tries to get its fourth successive victory as home team, considering official games and also friendly, to compensate the not very good performance that has been showing outside the house. In 2016, the Ecuadorians played thirteen games, of which they won only three, two for the Qualifiers and one for the Copa America. At home, Ecuador have nine goals in the last three games. For this confrontation, the coach should keep the team in the 4-2-2-2 or in the 4-2-3-1, highlighting Caicedo in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Esteban Dreer, Mario Pineida, Arturo Mina, Luis Caicedo, Walter Ayoví, Antonio Valencia, Matías Oyola, Jefferson Orejuela, Enner Valencia, Ángel Mena, Felipe Caicedo.
Coach: G. Alfaro.

Analysis Colombia

The away team is currently in the 4th position, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Argentina by (3‑0). In the last round, they have won a home match against Bolivia by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 6 WC Qualification South America away matches Colombia has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 12 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 8 out of 12 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 12 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 10 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Colombia is on the pitch for its third match in 2017, the second followed by the World Cup Qualifiers, as its first game this season took place in a friendly against Brazil. The Colombian National Team is straight with the victory it won in the last round of the continental tournament, which ended a fast that lasted four games. In 2016, the Colombians played fifteen matches, considering friendlies and games valid for the qualifiers and also for the Copa America, of which they won nine, drew two and lost four. As a visitor, the team does not balance the networks for two matches. For this confrontation, the coach should keep the team in the 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1, with Rodríguez highlighted in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: David Ospina, Farid Díaz, Yerry Mina, Santiago Arias, Cristián Zapata, James Rodríguez, Abel Aguilar, Juan Cuadrado, Edwin Cardona, Carlos Sánchez, Miguel Borja.
Coach: N. Lorenzo.
