Peru national team take on the visitors Ecuador in the round eight match of qualification to the World Cup 2018. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 7th.
Peru are capable of showing nice football and gain positive results only at Copa America and show nothing notable in qualifications to World Cup. The team was impressive this summer and lost the place in the semifinal of the competition on penalties against strong Colombia. However, recent defeat at Bolivia, 0-2, almost took all the chances to be involved in battle for top-5 in the group. Peru have gained only four points after seven matches with 6-15 goal difference and already are eight points behind fifth place.

Ecuador also got eliminated from Copa America in quarterfinals, making way to the hosts, USA, 1-2. Restart of the qualifying campaign in South America was also quite disappointing for the team as they lost home clash to Brazil, 0-3. Ecuador had excellent start with four wins taken but they were followed by a draw and two defeats and their top-four place is under big question mark. Ecuador are currently fourth with 13 points, one point behind leaders Argentina and one point ahead of Paraguay, sixth.
Ecuador have advantage in matches with Peru national team. While the hosts failing to be competitive for quite a while, Ecuador have experience of main stages in World Cup. The opponents met in Copa America and drew their match, 2-2. Ecuador should be closer to a victory as more skilled side and at least avoid defeat against mediocre Peru.
Prediction for the match: Ecuador to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
