Qatar vs Ecuador -This Qatari national football squad is the end result of years of labour to create a group capable of fighting against the best in the world by bringing players from all over the world through Aspire academy.
They continued to humiliate every opponent as they earned their first victory in the 2019 Asian Cup. Spanish head coach Felix Sanchez’s squad won the competition with 19 goals and just one goal allowed.
But when they attended the Copa America that same year and finished last in their group with just one point from three games, reality set in.
They didn’t achieve any noteworthy results, though, and frequently finished second when competing with similarly placed sides going forward.
With teams that have the ability to get past the group stage, this will undoubtedly be a test of the Qataris’ abilities.
In the meantime, Ecuador shocked many by winning the South American region and advancing to the World Cup ahead of teams like Chile, Colombia, and Peru. Even more startling is the fact that their squad’s average age is just under 26.
Surprisingly, they managed to hold both Argentina and Brazil to draws on the last matchdays of the qualifiers and have only suffered one loss in their last 15 games overall.
However, they have a propensity to draw too many games; throughout that time, there were ten stalemates.
The Qatar 2022 is anticipated to be a difficult match for the tricolours given that they scored the majority of their points at home. They have a goal scoring slump and have only scored one goal in their last five friendlies, which has made matters worse.
Qatar vs Ecuador – Betting Analysis
Although this is not a match that will appeal to neutrals, there will likely be some excitement because both sides need three points to have a chance of beating the Netherlands and Senegal and moving on to the knockout rounds.
This youthful Ecuador team is very tough to beat, as noted in the analysis, and recent draws with tournament favourites Argentina and Brazil provide the strongest evidence for this claim.
We are predicting a close victory for El Tri in the tournament’s opening match because we believe they will have enough opportunities to score against an inexperienced Qatari defence.
Enner Valencia has a great first half of the season with Fenerbahce, thus we are betting on him to score anytime.
The Ecuadorian scored three goals for his country’s last World Cup appearance in 2014 and bagged 13 goals from 11 games in the Turkish Super Lig.
