After many controversies, the 2022 FIFA World Cup will get underway this weekend in Qatar with the host nation playing Ecuador and it should be a cracker.
If they weren’t the host, the Middle East side would probably not have qualified for the World Cup, but they are in the competition now and will be keen to do their best.
They have a fine record ahead of this match with four consecutive wins and no losses in five games, so we expect them to be competitive.
Ecuador has survived nearly being thrown out of the World Cup for fielding an ineligible player and will want to make the most of this opportunity.
They pipped the likes of Colombia and Chile to a place in the competition’s group stages and will be keen to start their campaign in top form.
They have similarly not lost any of their last five games, but only one has ended in victory for them so far.
The best bet prediction for this game is under 2.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.
