Uruguay vs Ecuador Prediction
Uruguay have seen a drop in form recently, going winless in four games across competitions, scoring once. They are unbeaten at home in the fixture, though.
Marcelo Bielsa will welcome back José María Giménez and Mathías Olivera to the lineup following suspensions to boost the defence. Nicolás De la Cruz is a doubt and faces a late fitness test.
Ecuador, meanwhile, have conceded once in six games in the World Cup qualifiers, scoring twice. Leonardo Campana played for the first time in nearly a year in the draw with Paraguay and might start.
Considering the goalscoring form of both teams, expect a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Uruguay 1-1 Ecuador
