Ecuador hosts Peru in round 6 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 9th at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado (Quito)
Last Friday Ecuador visited the main favorite and leader of the standings, Brazil. Of course, the goal in Porto Alegre was not to concede and not to lose. And sitting back on heels, the men of Gustavo Alfaro were coping with their task for quite a long time. Yes, they possessed the ball less than a third of the regulation time and delivered only a couple of shots, but, most importantly, they kept a goalless draw until the 65th minute. However, Richarlison opened the scoring after Neymar's pass. And the star from PSG converted the penalty at the end of the game and doubled the lead. Nevertheless, the Ecuadorians remained in the group of leaders. They started this qualification with a defeat to Argentina (1-0) but then gained three consecutive victories. And the March friendly match against Bolivia ended in a 2-1 victory.

In 2018 the national team of Peru finally managed to return to the World Cup. But now an interesting team is in a deep crisis. Nothing has changed after a long pause. Ricardo Gareca's men could not keep a draw in the home match against Colombia even before the break: Yerri Mina, who came to the opponent’s penalty area, opened the scoring. And by the 55th minute, the Colombians brought the score to 0-3 in their favor. It was already the 4th defeat in a row, and Peru is the last team in the standings with only one point scored. The Incas urgently need to improve their results to keep a chance for the second consecutive promotion to the World Cup. Such players as Carlos Zambrano, Jefferson Farfan, and Edson Flores would come in handy now, but they are all out of the roster for various reasons (mainly due to injuries). And it seems that the coaching staff could not find an adequate replacement for them.
The teams alternately show successful streaks in head-to-head matches. In 2013-2017, Peru won three times and gained one draw. However, Ecuador won the last two games and did it away. Now the Tricolors must win to show that they remain serious contenders for the World Cup. We bet on the hosts to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Ecuador to win with -1.0 handicap
