Ecuador host Venezuela at the Estadio de Liga Deportiva Universitaria in the FIFA World Cup South American qualifiers. The host are currently placed third in the qualification table and look confident enough to advance to the World Cup in Qatar. They have earned seventeen points in twelve games while the visitors have earned just seven points in their twelve games and linger at the bottom of the table. Ecuador come into the game with a loss to Venezuela on the road before a draw against Colombia in an away fixture as well. They might have struggled while travelling but Ecuador are a formidable side at home. They have lost just once in their last six competitive matches at home and also have won two out of the last three home games in the qualification. Ecuador have beaten the likes of Uruguay, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay and Venezuela themselves in the qualification.

Venezuela come into the game with a 3-0 defeat to Chile in an away fixture in the qualification campaign. The Chile defeat means that they have lost each of their last six away matches and Venezuela have lost each of their last four away matches against Ecuador as well. The Chile loss was their first win in seven games with six draws and a win. Venezuela’s lack of wins can be attributed to their poor scoring performance. They have scored just eight goals in twelve matches in the qualification which is the lowest number of goals in the group.
