Paraguay have also started the campaign quite successfully as they are currently fourth with 7 points after 4 games and 3-2 goal difference. Paraguay’s key to success in recent 20 years was their solid play in defense. Ramon Dias’ men don’t impress lately on the road as they lost four of their last five away matches with 4-12 goal difference.
There is no obvious leader in the head-to-head record between teams as they alternate home wins and the most visitors can count is an away draw. Paraguay took their last away victory in Ecuador back in 1997 (2-0). Ecuador are favourites of the upcoming clash as Paraguay don’t impress in away matches.
Prediction for the match: Ecuador to win.
