Qatar v Ecuador Match Stats: Everything Suggests A Low-Scoring Encounter

Qatar and Ecuador have FIFA Rankings of 50 and 44 so based on that there should not be a lot between these World Cup minnows in the opening game this Sunday (4pm).

The match betting backs this up with Ecuador the slight favourites @ 7/5 with BetUK, with Qatar @ 12/5, but looking at our Qatar v Ecuador match stats below – could the draw @41/20 be the way to go?

Both sides also come here in fair form, with Ecuador having lost just one of their last 15 and Qatar unbeaten in their last 5 matches.

We’ll tell you more below on why both teams sharing the points here looks an interesting option.

Ecuador Have Drawn 73% Of Their Last 11 Games

ec

A quite remarkable Ecuador match stat heading into their game against Qatar is that the South American side have drawn a massive 8 of their last 11 matches!

Wowsers! That’s a 73% strike-rate, so the 41/20 being offered here by BetUK on both teams sharing the points looks decent value. Don’t forget you can also join BetUK and bet £19 on the Qatar v Ecuador game and they will give you £66 in free bets.

See below our BetUK betslip that will win you £30.50 if you bet £10 on the draw.

Oh, and 4 of the Last 5 Ecuador Matches Have Ended 0-0

If you want a bit more value, then you might also be interested to know that of the stack of recent Ecuador draws, 4 of the last 5 have actually been 0-0!

This 0-0 correct score, although it won’t be want the World Cup neutrals want to see, can be backed @ 11/2 with BetUK.

92% Of Ecuador’s Last 13 Matches Went UNDER 2.5 Goals

Another option, if you don’t want to delve into the draw or correct score markets, is to take a look at the Overs/Unders. Why? We’ll there are more positive stats here that might sway you towards a low-scoring clash.

A monster 92% of Ecuador’s last 13 matches have gone Under 2.5 Goals (all but one). The only bad news is this stat seems to have been picked up by the bookies already with Under 2.5 Goals on offer @ 13/25 with BetUK.

Ecuador’s Valencia Their Top Scorer In The Squad

Looking at the player goals stats for Ecuador, then Enner Valencia, who plays for Fenerbache, seems their main threat. He’s netted 35 goals from his 74 caps and is on offer @ 19/5 to score first or @ 8/5 anytime.

Qatar Come Into The Game Unbeaten In Five

qatar

The hosts, Qatar will of course have an extra man in their games with the big home support, while they head into the World Cup in fair form too being unbeaten in their last five.

They were last in action with a 1-0 win over Albania on Nov 9th and prior to that beat Panama, Honduras and Guatemala.

75% Of Qatar’s Last 8 Matches Saw UNDER 2.5 Goals

We’ve already touched on the low-scoring matches that Ecuador have been involved in recently, but the same applies to Qatar.

6 of their last 8 games have also gone Under 2.5 Goals, which if we add this 75% strike-rate to the 92% record of Ecuador’s last 13 games, then it’s easy to see why the bookmakers have 2 or less goals in the fixture as long odds-on.
