Peru vs Ecuador Predictions
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Peru Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals – 1.64
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Peru 0 Goals Handicap – 1.60
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Both Teams To Score No – 1.92
Peru Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
Peru have won their last three matches in the qualifiers and under 3.5 goals were scored in all of them. Moreover, in only Peru’s two outings at the 2022 WCQs more than three goals was the matches’ outcome. Also, Ecuador’s last 11 games in the WCQs saw under 3.5 goals.
Peru 0 Goals Handicap
There is a 50/50 chance for both teams to win this match and a draw has a 25% probability. Peru realized the 0 goals handicap in their last two games and five times in these qualifiers. We think there is a big probability for this bet to win in this game.
Both Teams To Score No
According to the statistics, there is a 70% chance that we will not see goals at both ends in this match. In addition, Peru’s four of their last five games saw goals from one side and Ecuador’s three of the last four qualifiers saw one team score. With such stats and facts, we will back both teams not to score come Wednesday.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Peru vs Ecuador
This match is by far the most important one in round 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Despite both teams being third and fourth in the standings, they have not yet assured their place in Qatar. Peru have 20 points one point ahead of fifth-placed Uruguay. While Ecuador have 24 points and are a win away from securing qualification.
With that in mind, Peru have no other choice to win this match to keep their position ahead of Uruguay. And coach Ricardo Gareca’s team are in a form to fulfill that having ended two of their last three wins with clean sheets. Especially after returning from Colombia with three points which will boost the Peruvians Morale for the coming matches.
Ecuador themselves have not lost in four qualifiers and their last match against Brazil that ended in a draw will give the Tricolor a major confidence boost. Surely another draw here will be most welcomed by coach Gustavo Alfaro with a trip to ninth-placed Paraguay coming up might be the chance to seal the deal.
The Tricolors have the second-best attack in the qualifiers with 24 goals and have failed to score in only one of their last seven matches. Defensively, Ecuador have three clean sheets in their last four matches conceding only against Brazil. They might be more vulnerable in their away games as they conceded in five of their seven trips.
Sebouh Babikian Peru vs Ecuador Prediction
With four points ahead of their hosts, Ecuador are certainly in a better position and may be content with a draw here. We expect to see Peru attacking and Ecuador just closing their area and relying on the breaks. The double chance of a home win or draw will be our choice to back for this match.
Safe Bet
With the bet Ecuador no bet, we get our stake back if Ecuador wins and a Peru win has odds of 1.62. Ecuador’s recent form is encouraging and can be a dangerous opponent in Peru. As a result, we think it will be a safe bet to back this outcome.
Quick Rich
Taking into consideration the importance of the match and the fact that both teams will be cautious and their main aim will be to avoid losing, we may see just one goal and that might be by Peru who will be more on the offensive. For that, we think backing Peru to win and one goal in the match with odds of 5.85, is worth backing for a quick profit.

Peru vs Ecuador Team News
The 4-1-4-1 formation proved successful for coach Gareca in their last match in Colombia. However, playing without Cuevo who assisted Flores’s goal against Colombia due to suspension might disrupt Gareca’s plans. Right-back Corzo also is banned for accumulated yellow cards and will miss the match.
Advincula is an obvious replacement for Corzo at right-back, while Miguel Trauco returns after serving a ban.
As for Ecuador, goalkeeper Dominguez is out after being red-carded against Brazil and veteran Enner Valencia received his fourth yellow card and is banned. Hernan Galindez is most likely to replace Dominguez in goal while Preciado may deputize for Valencia.

Peru: Gallese, Advincula, Zambrano, Callens, Trauco, Tapia, Carrillo, Yotun, Gonzalez, Flores, Lepadula.
