The World Cup experience left a bitter taste in Ecuadorians’ mouths, as they seemed poised to do more than just be eliminated in the group stage. With Spanish coach Félix Sánchez Bas now leading the team, in replacement of Argentine Gustavo Alfaro, Ecuador faced two March friendlies in Oceania against Australia. In that occasion, the team recorded one loss (1-3) and one win (2-1).

However, the team is now facing several absences: Kendry Páez, Wilson Angulo, Óscar Zambrano, and Joel Ordóñez will not be able to play due to visa issues. Moreover, Los Angeles FC left-back Diego Palacios did not show up for the call-up.

In Ecuador’s last two matches, the over 2.5 goals were scored. The Over 2.5 odds at Codere are (+100), so if you bet $100, you would recover your money and earn an additional $100.

Probable lineup (4-4-2): Hernán Galíndez; Félix Torres, William Pacho, Piero Hincapié and Dervis Estupiñán; Ángelo Preciado, Alan Franco, Moisés Caicedo and Gonzalo Plata; Enner Valencia and Julio Anderson.

Would Bolivia be able to make it to the next World Cup now that the qualification fromat has been expanded? The team hired experienced Argentine coach Gustavo Costas, who has the tough task of organizing a squad that has some limitations.

Bolivia comes to this match after attaining mix results at two friendly matches. The team suffered a 0-1 defeat to Uzbekistan, and secured a 2-1 victory against Saudi Arabia. That victory was the first one for coach Costas, who had started his era with two losses, against Peru and Senegal, back in 2022. Also, that win ended a negative streak of seven defeats in a row.

At Codere, the odds for a Bolivian win are (+750). This means that for every $100 bet, you can win $750, totaling $850.

Probable lineup (3-5-2): Carlos Lampe; Jairo Quinteros, Adrián Jusino and Marcelo Suárez; Ramiro Vaca, Luciano Ursino, Diego Bejarano, Fernando Saucedo and Jaime Arrascaita; Marcelo Moreno Martins and Fernando Nava.

El Jefe’s Prediction on Ecuador vs Bolivia

On the one hand, Ecuador has a promising generation of players who have already shown their potential to go far. On the other hand, Bolivia will have to work hard to regain its place in the global soccer scene.

According to JefeBet, the Ecuador vs Bolivia match is likely to end in a resounding victory for the team led by Spanish coach Sánchez Bas. However, Ecuador’s defense gives away advantages that could result in an open and unpredictable game.

Will both teams be able to score goals? Absolutely. If you bet $100 on this outcome, you can benefit from a +135 odd, which means you’ll receive your $100 bet plus a $135 profit at Codere.
