Absences
Neither of the two teams have any injured or suspended players so they will be able to count on a full squad for match day 2 of the Conmebol qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup with two very strong teams in the area.
Background
The record does not have a favourite as they have met on 7 occasions, leaving a record of 3 wins for Ecuador, a draw and 3 victories for Uruguay, but given their current form, the Charrúa team will be slightly more favoured to win their second victory and fight for the lead in the Conmebol competition.
How does Uruguay get there?
The selection of Uruguay for its part comes from defeating Chile 3-1, a match that they dominated from start to finish, and with a football lesson they managed to get the win and their first 3 points to be in second place with 3 points, will seek to fight for first place which by goals at the moment is held by Brazil, but must visit Ecuador who will not see who did it but who pays for it so it is expected to be a very intense match, full of goals and emotions.
How does Ecuador get there?
The Ecuadorian national team has just lost 1-0 against Argentina, in a match that was very close and it took a brilliant free kick by Lionel Messi to beat the Ecuadorian goal and win by the minimum difference. The Ecuadorian national team will be looking to get points against Uruguay, to get rid of the 3 penalty points that have them at the bottom of the general table towards the 2026 World Cup, and to close this FIFA date and this start of the World Cup qualifiers in Conmebol in the best possible way.
