Ecuador to Win
The guests are already one foot into the World Cup in Qatar and only a miracle could prevent them from playing on the main stage of international football.
Meanwhile, Paraguay has lost all chance of getting to the World Cup, so we can see Ecuador fighting hard to win this game and secure third place. After all, Paraguay lost four of their last five games, so they are clearly in a very poor form.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
While we’ve seen three or more goals in two of the previous five h2h meetings between Paraguay and Ecuador, we don’t see this game having a lot of goals.
After all, Paraguay averaged just 2.00 goals per game in these Qualifiers and that’s the lowest average in the group. Meanwhile, Ecuador averaged 2.50 goals per game so far.
Both Teams to Score – No
Both teams did score in two of the last three head-to-head duels between these two teams, but we don’t see that happening on Thursday when the two teams will meet again.
The reason lies in the fact that both teams scored in just 31% of all Paraguay games in the group, while the same is true for 44% of all Ecuador games in these WC Qualifiers.
Paraguay vs Ecuador preview: Can the guests confirm their Qatar spot?
Paraguay
After they lost five of their last six games in the group, Paraguay is only ahead of Venezuela in the standings at the moment. So, it’s safe to say that their performances in these WC Qualifiers were not up to par and the fans are certainly disappointed by their showing. There are still two games left in the Qualifiers, so Paraguay can at least finish them on a high note if they can break their poor run.
Ecuador
With 25 points and two games left to play, Ecuador is third in the group and they are already one foot in Qatar, but they can still mess things up if they lose both of their games and other results don’t go their way. The chances of that are miniscule and Ecuador only needs to avoid defeat in this game to avoid any doubt about their participation in the 2022 World Cup.
