Peru will invite Ecuador to the Estadio Nacional de Lima in the FIFA World Cup 2026 (CONMEBOL) qualifiers on Tuesday. The visitors are second in the standings with 34 points, 23 more than Los Incas, who are no longer in contention to secure direct qualification to the main event.
The hosts have won just one of their last six games in the qualifiers while suffering three defeats. They met Colombia last week and were held to a goalless draw, failing to score for the second match in a row.
La Tri are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions. After a 2-1 win over Venezuela in their first match of the year in March, they have played out two consecutive draws. They hosted Brazil last week and were held to a goalless draw.
La Bicolor head into the match on a two-game winless run without scoring and will look to return to goalscoring ways here. Notably, they are unbeaten at home in their last five World Cup qualifiers, playing out three draws.
La Tri have played back-to-back draws in their last two games and will look to return to goalscoring ways. Interestingly, they have failed to score in five of their seven away games in the qualifiers.
Considering the current form of the two teams, a draw will likely ensue.
