Ecuador vs Colombia Prediction and Betting Tips

May 2024 · 4 minute read

Ecuador and Colombia go head-to-head at the Estadio de Liga Deportiva Universitaria in round four of the CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday (October 17).

The hosts picked up successive wins in the World Cup qualifiers by edging out Bolivia 2-1 at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Friday. Felix Sanchez’s men had kicked off their qualifying campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Argentina on September 8 before bouncing back with a 2-1 win over Uruguay four days later.

Ecuador have won all but one of their last six games across competitions, with the loss to Argentina being the exception.

Colombia, meanwhile, were involved in a second consecutive share of the spoils in the World Cup qualifiers, drawing 2-2 to Uruguay on Thursday. Before that, Nestor Lorenzo’s men had picked up a 1-0 win over Venezuela in their qualifying opener on September 8, four days before a goalless draw with Chile.

Colombia, who are 15th in the FIFA rankings, sit third in the standings, picking up five points from a possible nine, while Ecuador are seventh with three points. The hosts started the campaign with minus three points for falsifying birth documents of Byron Castillo in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
