Ecuador host Chile at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in Quito on Tuesday for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, as both sides look to return to winning ways.
After back-to-back wins over Uruguay and Bolivia, Ecuador played out a pair of 0-0 draws with Colombia and Venezuela.
This has punctured the momentum the Tricolors built following their consecutive wins and head coach Miguel Ángel Ramírez will be pushing his side to find their shooting boots sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, Chile are struggling in the World Cup qualifiers yet again. In five matches, La Roja have won just once, a 2-0 victory over Peru on matchday three.
Ranked 37th in the world, Chile have lost and drawn twice each. Having failed to qualify for the last two editions of the FIFA World Cup, including as reigning Copa America champions in 2018, Chile must up the ante or risk missing out for an embarrassing third time in a row.
