How do Ecuador and Venezuela arrive?
Venezuela is coming off a debut for oblivion against the Brazilian team, in which they were defeated 0-3. Many health problems, specifically problems related to Covid-19 for the Venezuelan team, where 11 of its players had to leave the concentration. This, coupled with the injury problems of their main key players, drastically decimated them. Then, in the second match of the Copa America, they managed to draw 0-0 against Colombia.

On the other hand, we have the Ecuadorian team who already had their date off in this Copa America, so those led by Gustavo Alfaro had a week to recover after the 0-1 defeat against the Colombian team in the first America’s Cup match. Ecuador comes to this match on a very bad streak, after losing both matches played on the last FIFA date, against Brazil 0-2 and Peru 1-2. Nobody understands what changed in this Ecuadorian team, since, in the previous matches, specifically the match against Colombia, where they won 6-1, they showed themselves as a fearsome team and with a lot of football to be able to beat any team.
