The Ecuadorians are in the fourth position inthe table after four victories, one draw and four defeats, good stats but they lost in September against Uruguay on the road, and before that loss the team had earned a point in a draw against Chile.

The desperation of Bolivia for more points is genuine, they were swept by Argentina 3-0 in Matchday 10 on the road. That game was almost impossible for the team to win. Bolivia have only 6 points in the table with 12 goals in favor and 22 against.

Ecuador confirmed lineup

Most of the names in the Ecuador squad are similar to those used during September for the last round of games. But there are several new names in the squad that will serve as support in the October games, Byron Castillo and Moises Ramirez are a pair of players who were not present with the national team in September.

Gustavo Alfaro, Ecuador’s head coach, caused some controversy with the new names within the squad as he excluded a couple of players (Damian Diaz and Noboa) who are above the goal scoring average with their teams. But Bolivia has always been an easy rival for Ecuador.
