Chile vs Ecuador: The Ecuadorians were underestimated

Chile take on Ecuador in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Find out how the competition is going and find out what to bet on. We have a few options for you to bet on!

Chile have a good chance to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2022. The Chileans have managed to get 16 points in 13 games and sit in fourth place in the standings. They should, however, be wary as fifth-placed Colombia and sixth-placed Uruguay have the same number of points, with only Chile finishing fourth thanks to goal difference. They beat Paraguay 1-0 in November.

Ecuador are surely pleasing their fans. Few expected such a quick reaction from this relatively modest team. At least in the standings, they’re third with 20 points under their belt, only beaten by Brazil and Argentina stars. As for the November fixture, Ecuador beat Venezuela 1-0 on 12 November without even a single shot on target!

The bookmakers see Chile as the favourite. We reckon they’re not. It’s enough to look at the position of the teams in the table and their recent matches. In what way are Chileans better than Ecuadorians? Besides, in the first round, the opponents leveled off. We believe that the visitors will at least not lose today and even try to win more.
