Colombia to have a narrow win over Ecuador

Tonight, Colombia hosts Ecuador in the World Cup qualifiers with both teams looking to boost their chances of making it to Qatar 2022.

Colombia presently sits 5th in the South American World Cup Qualifiers, meaning they occupy the World Cup play-off spot as it stands now but a win in tonight’s encounter would see them up to the automatic qualification spots.

Getting the 3 points would see Columbia climb over Ecuador who are presently 3rd in the standings.

Colombia are unbeaten in their last seven World Cup qualifiers. However, five of those games have finished in draws, which has hindered their chances of climbing into the automatic qualification spots which is the top four.

In their last game, Columbia played out a 0-0 with Brazil. The game followed a familiar low-scoring trend as four of their previous five qualifiers have produced under 2.5 goals.

The home team have an unstable home record in their recent qualifiers with a record of two wins from their last seven home qualifiers.

Ecuador on the other hand are presently in the top four which is an automatic qualification spot for the World Cup, but their recent form in qualifying has been very poor.

They head into this game on the back of just one win in their previous four matches which includes a 2-1 shocking loss away to Venezuela who themselves are struggling, sitting comfortably at the bottom of the table.

Ecuador have a terrible record on their recent away matches of the World Cup qualifiers, as they have won just one of their last nine away qualifiers, having lost the other eight games away from home.

Sportsgetto predicts that Colombia will have the upper hand over Ecuador tonight, claiming all the 3 points to boost their chances of making it to the World Cup.
