Uruguay Preview – Can Uruguay win back-to-back?
A 4-2 home win over Bolivia was indeed a welcome and much-needed win for Uruguay in their bid to achieve a top four finish in the South American section of these World Cup qualifiers which would also ensure their place in the next World Cup.
Before that, they face another tough opponent in the shape of Ecuador who sit in 3rd spot just a point ahead of their hosts and although they beat Uruguay 4-2 at home earlier, Uruguay now return to home soil for this clash, unbeaten in their last four qualifiers.
Indeed, Uruguay have lost just two of their eight group matches so far in this campaign while at home, they’ve also lost just two of their last eight games overall; Uruguay are also unbeaten in their previous eight meetings at home against Ecuador as well.
Ecuador Preview – Can Ecuador break spell?
Ecuador sit one place and one point above their hosts, Uruguay, prior to this upcoming clash and the visitors will be keen to build upon a recent 2-0 home win over Paraguay and a point in a 0-0 draw at home with Chile when they travel to Montevideo on Thursday night.
However, the visitors have suffered three defeats so far already in this campaign against Argentina, Brazil and Peru and although they’ve picked up four wins to date, three of these four wins have been achieved on home soil.
Results away from home in World Cup qualifiers though have been rather poor as Ecuador have managed to win just one of their last 10 away games, losing eight of these.
