Third-place Uruguay takes on fifth-placed Ecuador in Montevideo for matchday 10 of the 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying campaign. Let’s get into the prediction with an important three points on the line for this match between La Celeste and La Tri.
It hasn’t been a great return to qualification action for Uruguay following an impressive Copa America which saw them finish third. Since returning, the Uruguayans have drawn twice and lost once, the most recent being a 1-0 away defeat to Peru. Worryingly, it also marked the third consecutive game that La Celeste have failed to find the net, a rare occurrence for a Marcelo Bielsa coached side.
Uruguay have now failed to record a victory in 90 minutes in their last seven straight games (excluding the penalty shootout victory over Canada).
They’ll be hoping that a return to the Estadio Centenario will provide them with the shot in the arm that they need. In this qualification campaign, Uruguay have posted a 3-1-0 record at this ground with eight goals scored and only one conceded.
Ecuador continue to impress in the 2026 World Cup qualifying swing, even after suffering a three-point deduction for falsifying player documents.
They’ve posted the same record as Uruguay with four wins, three draws and two defeats, but with the deduction they’re brought down to 12 points. This has them sitting fifth, nursing a slim one-point lead over seventh-place Venezuela for an automatic qualifying position.
Last time out, Ecuador failed to breach the Paraguayan defense as they were held to a 0-0 draw in Quito.

Our Uruguay vs Ecuador Prediction
Uruguay desperately need to see the back of the net bulge to snap out of this scoring rut. Unfortunately for them, Ecuador aren’t going to do them any favors. La Tri are one of the most in-form teams defensively in the region, with their only two goals conceded in the last five coming against Argentina and Brazil.
Back this to be a low-scoring match which might only see a goal or two scored. Our Uruguay vs Ecuador prediction: under 2.5 goals.
