Brazil Preview – Can Brazil extend 100% winning record?
Four wins from their opening four matches has placed Brazil in pole position in the South American World Cup qualifying group and a strong position from which to achieve automatic qualification for World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Victories over Bolivia 5-0, Peru 4-2, Venezuela 1-0 and a 2-0 win against Uruguay have helped Brazil to the top of the group where they hold a two-point cushion over 2nd placed Argentina and more importantly, a six-point lead over 5th placed Uruguay.
Automatic qualification is therefore very firmly in Brazil’s own hands and having won 14 of their last 16 World Cup qualifiers, the hosts look set to grab another three points here as they continue their march towards next year’s World Cup finals.
Ecuador Preview – Can Ecuador win four on trot?
Following an opening group defeat 1-0 away from home at Argentina, Ecuador have since staged an impressive recovery by winning their subsequent three matches on the trot with victories collected against Uruguay, Bolivia and Colombia, the latter being a 6-1 thrashing at home.
The previous World Cup qualifying campaign wasn’t kind to Ecuador though as the visitors suffered a horrific seven-match losing streak during the group stage which included a 2-0 defeat in their last visit to Brazil.
Ecuador have also managed to register just one win out of their last nine matches on their travels and this looks to be a daunting trip for the visitors this Friday.
