Ecuador vs Bolivia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 14th 2024

Ecuador and Bolivia return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they square off at the Estadio Monumental on Thursday. Having lost the last seven meetings between the two nations, Oscar Villegas’ men will head into the midweek clash desperate to get one over the hosts and leapfrog them in the table.

Ecuador were involved in a share of the spoils for the second consecutive game in the World Cup qualifiers as they played out a goalless draw with Uruguay at the Centenario Stadium on October 16.

Sebastian Beccacece’s side have now gone unbeaten in eight of their last nine qualifying matches, claiming four wins and four draws since kicking off the campaign with a 1-0 loss against Argentina in September 2023.

Ecuador now return home, where they are one of just four sides yet to suffer defeat in the qualifiers, claiming three wins and two draws from their five matches so far.

Bolivia, on the other hand, were sent crashing back down to earth in the World Cup qualifying race as they suffered a 6-0 thumping at the hands of Argentina on October 16.

Before that, Villegas’ men picked up three straight wins, seeing off Venezuela, Chile and Colombia while scoring seven goals and keeping two clean sheets in that time.

With 12 points from 10 matches, Bolivia are currently seventh in the group standings, one point and two places behind Thursday’s hosts.

Ecuador vs Bolivia Prediction

While Bolivia will be looking to return to winning ways, results on the road offer little optimism as they have lost six of their seven away games since the start of 2023.

Ecuador have been tough to beat in front of their home supporters and we fancy them to extend their winning streak against Bolivia.

Prediction: Ecuador 3-1 Bolivia
