Uruguay, led by legendary Marcelo Bielsa, lost to Peru last week, and Ecuador lost at home against Paraguay, so both teams have something to improe. With the current standings, both teams would qualify directly for the World Cup, but there is not much point difference to Paraguay, who are the first under the line.

Uruguay had a really excellent start to the qualifiers last year and La Celeste were even considered the continent's strongest team for a while, when they won over both Brazil and Argentina! It's been more difficult now when they haven't succeeded in finding the net for three consecutive qualifying matches. Bielsa has received criticism from the players as well and he might soon be under the threat of getting sacked.

Recently, Bielsa's group also had quite a problem with his squad with suspensions. Rodrigo Bentancur is now suspended. Ronald Araújo and Matías Viña are injured over the October window. Luis Suárez ended his national team career for last month's games instead.

In these qualifiers, Ecuador has been one of the teams with the fewest goals in the CONMEBOL group, along with Paraguay, so it wasn't a surprise that the results are like these below. In away games, La Tri has of course performed clearly worse than in home games, in the thin atmosphere of Quito, the away teams often have a difficult time in terms of fitness and breathing!

The visitors are missing Jhegson Méndez and Carlos Gruezo due to injuries, but otherwise, there are no injury concerns. Keeper Alexander Domínguez backed out after the summer's Copa América, and Hernán Galíndez is now the undisputed number-one man between the posts.

Neither team is in a burning hurry to collect points, so there may be a super boring match ahead in Montevideo. Ecuador hits the counter again with the defensive formation and the physical and well-functioning bunch of the away team, Uruguay does not have the weapons to break easily if La Tri withstands the hosts' initial attack.

0-0 in the cards.

由传奇人物马塞洛·贝尔萨（Marcelo Bielsa）率领的乌拉圭上周输给了秘鲁，厄瓜多尔在主场输给了巴拉圭，所以两支球队都有需要改进的地方。按照目前的排名，两队都有资格直接晋级世界杯，但与排名第一的巴拉圭的积分差距并不大。

乌拉圭在去年的预选赛中有一个非常出色的开局，塞莱斯特甚至一度被认为是非洲大陆最强的球队，当时他们击败了巴西和阿根廷！当他们连续三场预选赛都没有进球时，现在的情况更加困难了。贝尔萨也受到了球员的批评，他可能很快就会面临被解雇的威胁。

最近，贝尔萨的球队也遇到了停赛的问题。罗德里戈·本坦库尔现已被停职。罗纳德Araújo和Matías Viña在十月转会窗受伤。路易斯Suárez在上个月的比赛中结束了他的国家队生涯。

在这些预选赛中，厄瓜多尔和巴拉圭是美洲杯小组中进球最少的球队之一，所以结果如下也就不足为奇了。在客场比赛中，拉特里的表现当然明显比主场比赛差，在基多稀薄的气氛中，客场球队在体能和呼吸方面往往会遇到困难！

客队缺少赫格森·姆萨姆德斯和卡洛斯·格鲁佐因为受伤，但除此之外，他们没有受伤的担心。守门员亚历山大Domínguez在夏天的美洲杯后退出，Hernán Galíndez现在是门柱之间无可争议的头号人物。

两支球队都不急于积分，所以在蒙得维的亚的比赛可能会非常无聊。厄瓜多凭借防守阵型和身体状况良好的客队再次反击，如果拉特里抵挡住东道主的进攻，乌拉圭队并没有轻易突破的武器。

牌数0比0。
