Brazil v Ecuador betting tips: Selecao out to extend perfect start

Over 2.5 goals is priced at 3/5, both teams to score is 11/10 while a Brazil win with goals at both ends is available at 2/1.

Brazil v Ecuador head-to-head

Ecuador have only managed two wins in 18 previous meetings with Brazil, the most recent of which was in 2004, and both were on home soil.

They have failed to find the net in the last four meetings although they held Brazil to a goalless draw at the 2016 Copa America.

This is the first time the teams have met since September 2017 when Brazil edged a World Cup qualifier 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from Paulinho and Philippe Coutinho.

Previous XI

Ecuador: Dominguez, Torres, Leon, Quinonez, Arroyo, Noboa, Martinez, Perlaza, Carabali, Estrada, Mena.

Key battles

The goals have been flowing for Ecuador so far and they have had nine different goalscorers but they may adopt a more cautious approach against Brazil, who will be well organised at the back having fielded the same back four for all their qualifiers so far.

Brazil are likely to dominate possession in midfield and Ecuador must try to stop Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz supplying service to the likely front three of Neymar, Roberto Firmino and Richarlison.

Neymar is the biggest danger and scored a hat-trick against Peru last year. The PSG star is the 14/5 favourite to open the scoring and 4/1 to bag at least a brace.
