Command Analysis

Uruguay

Current form

Until recently, the Uruguayan national team looked very confident in the World Cup qualifiers and was fighting for the lead in the table. However, recently, Marcelo Bielsa team has lost a lot of points and is already four points behind the leader Argentina, while Colombia has one point more. In the last round, the Uruguayans sensationally lost 0:1 to the Peruvian national team, suffering their second defeat in the qualifiers.

Ecuador

Current form

Before the start of the selection, the Ecuadorian national team was among the obvious candidates for a direct ticket to the World Cup and so far it lives up to this status. After nine rounds, Sebastian Beccasese team is in fifth place in the table with 15 points and is two points ahead of eighth-placed Paraguay. In the last round, the "three-colored" drew a goalless draw with the Paraguayans, failing to realize many chances.

Tip and bets

2.49handicap (-1) on Uruguay

The Uruguayan national team will probably be maximally motivated after three matches without a win, and no other result than a victory will satisfy the hosts. Today, the disqualification periods of several key players expire, and the "heavenly Olympians" will finally be able to play at full strength. Ecuador is frankly unimpressive in away matches, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.

We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Uruguay . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.49

Bet on total

The Uruguayan national team will certainly strive for victory at home and will probably go forward in force in the first half and put serious pressure on the opponent defense. In away matches, the Ecuadorians are not particularly impressive and it will be almost impossible to stay clean in Montevideo, but at the same time, the "tricolors" have their own trump cards up front, it is quite possible to play for one goal against the guests.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.39

Bet on corners

Uruguay are the favourites and will most likely play first at home – the hosts should win confidently on corners.

Bet - Asian handicap (-1) on corners for Uruguay. This bet is offered for 1.61
