Uruguay hosts Ecuador in round 10 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Friday, September 10th at Estadio Centenario (Montevideo)
The national team of Uruguay manages to continue its unbeaten streak, even though now it is forced to do without two key attacking players. Luis Suarez is injured. And Edinson Cavani was not called up due to the British coronavirus restrictions. Well, experienced Oscar Washington Tabares seems to be coping with this challenge. It was difficult in the away match against Peru, where the Sky Blues limited themselves to a 1-1 draw. But there were no problems with Bolivia at home, which could be expected, as the opponent is very weak. The Uruguayans opened the scoring in the 15th minute, doubled it a quarter of an hour later, and eventually won 4-2. Moreover, an outsider managed to score only at the end of the game. On the other hand, there are also questions to Muslera and his defense led by Godin: what will happen next if even such weak opponents score repeatedly? Or were the Uruguayans just playing with insufficient concentration because of a comfortable advantage?

The national team of Ecuador fixes the situation in the fall. It showed a great start to the qualification last fall. But in 2021, the Tricolors could not boast of anything for a long time. At first, there were defeats in June qualifying matches, including to Peru at home. This was followed by the failed Copa America, where the Ecuadorians did not win a single match out of five and went home after losing 0-3 to Argentina in the quarterfinals. But it seems that Gustavo Alfaro's charges changed again in September, but their results significantly improved. They were able to score four out of six possible points and strengthened their position in the standings. First, Ecuador managed to put the squeeze on Paraguay thanks to the goals of Torres and Estrada in the very ending (they scored in the 88th and 95th minutes). That victory was followed by a goalless draw against Chile. However, the Tricolors hosted both opponents at their native stadium. And now they will have a difficult away game.
In this pair, the stadium factor has played a very important role in recent years. The national team that played at home won five times in a row. At the beginning of this qualifying cycle, the Ecuadorians won 4-2 at home. Bookmakers believe that the Uruguayans will win the upcoming important game. They are at least not weaker, and the field factor is on their side, so we risk betting on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Uruguay to win
