**Ecuador are basically playing against a side with the worst form in South America right now.** Bolivia are 0-5 in their last five — genuinely winless — while Ecuador have steadied the ship with a win and a couple of draws. 🔵

The hosts come in fresh off a 2-0 thrashing of Costa Rica at home, while Bolivia are limping in after a brutal 4-0 hammering from Argentina. This looks like a mismatch on paper, and the H2H backs it — Ecuador dominate this fixture 15-1-2 over the last 18.

Key storylines:

- **Ecuador's home form** keeps them rolling with W-D-D momentum; Bolivia haven't won since forever
- **Bolivia desperately need a spark** after five straight losses, but face a side who know how to grind out results
- **J. Yeboah and M. Caicedo** will be tasked with carving open a creaky Bolivia defense

Expected lineups:

- **Ecuador**: H. Galíndez, Y. Medina, W. Pacho, J. Ordóñez, P. Hincapié, P. Vite, D. Castillo, J. Arévalo, M. Caicedo, J. Yeboah, E. Valencia
- **Bolivia**: C. Lampe, R. Fernández, E. Morales, Y. Rocha, D. Arroyo, Miguelito, H. Cuellar, R. Matheus, N. Nacif, R. Vaca, C. Melgar

Prediction:

**Ecuador 2-0 Bolivia.** The hosts have every edge here — form, home turf, and history. Bolivia's winless run should extend. ⚪
