Ecuador performed well during the standings with an offensive attack that was effective thanks to the good performance of their offensive and defensive midfield during the qualifiers. Ecuador has the third best defense of the 2022 South American World Cup Qualifiers.
Paraguaylineup
Paraguay were weak during the qualifiers, they could barely score 9 goals in their games and the most recent game for them was evidence of the offensive problem the team has losing 0-4 against Brazil on the road.
The Paraguayan players have not had the same performance as the national team during their qualification to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. In addition, in 2014 they could not qualify for that world cup and also finished in the 9th spot of the standings.
Paraguaylineup: Silva (GK), Rojas (DF), Gomez (DF), Balbuena (DF), Riveros (DF), Ortiz (MF), Cubas (MF), Sanchez(MF), Almiron (MF), Morales(FW), Enciso(FW)
Ecuadorlineup
Ecuador has two clear options to access Qatar 2022, one is with a direct spot and the other is by playing in the inter-confederation play-offs. But Ecuador has a highly efficient offensive attack to win this game against Paraguay.
Ecuador has no weak points, but Gustavo Alfaro’s idea is to play every game of the 2022 South American World Cup Qualifiers as if it were the last game of their lives. Two new names were included in the squad, Danny Cabezas and Jorge Pinos.
Ecuadorlineup: Galindez (GK), Preciado (DF), Torres (DF), Hincapie (DF), Estupinan (DF), Gruezo (MF), Mendez (MF), Castillo (MF), Rojas (MF), Mena (FW), Valencia (FW)
