Uruguay and Ecuador have met 47 times, counting friendly matches. The record is clearly in favor of the team from the south of the continent, where they have won 30 times, drawn 10 and lost only 7 matches.

The team coached by Gustavo Alfaro is going through a great moment in these qualifiers, where they are 3rd with 13 points, and if they win in Montevideo, they would get a little closer to the dream of returning to the World Cup.

La Celeste hopes to get the three points against Ecuador to move away from their closest pursuers. The team coached by Óscar Tabárez is coming off a 4-2 win over Bolivia and is in 4th place in the standings with 12 points, but with Colombia close behind them in the direct qualification place.

This electrifying match will be played at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, the main stadium of Club Atlético Peñarol, located in the Bañados de Carrasco neighborhood, in the Department of Montevideo, Uruguay. The stadium has a seating capacity for 40,000 people distributed among the four existing stands.
