Peru vs Ecuador: Storylines andHead-to-Head
Peru may have struggled to get results at first but eventually they found the victories they needed to head into this round in a great spot. Ricardo Gareca’s boys have recently pulled off a dramatic, hard-fought win over Colombia in Barranquilla to make it three in a row, but more importantly, to move into the top four and depend on themselves to clinch a World Cup berth.
Ecuadoralso head into the final stretch of the Qualifiersin a comfortable position. La Tri have schocked everyone throughout the campaign and are heavy candidates to finish in third place, behind Argentina and Brazil – who have already qualified for Qatar 2022. Last time out, they moved another step close to the World Cup by snatching a point to La Canarinha in Quito. Regardless of how they conclude the campaign (although they’ll probably seal a place in the World Cup), hats off to Gustavo Alfaro for how he turned Ecuador around in such a short span of time.
This will be the 16th time these national teams meet in a Conmebol World Cup Qualifier. Ecuador have the edge just by one game as they recorded six victories, while Peru won five times, and they drew on fouroccasions.
