Brazil vs Ecuador Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

Selecao are sixth in the World Cup qualifiers table.

All eyes will be on Brazil as they return to action for the first time after their exit from the 2024 Copa America. The Selecao will play host to Ecuador in their seventh 2026 World Cup qualifier game with the hope of adding three more points to their tally. Seleção have not had it easy so far and are placed sixth on the points table with just seven points in their opening six games.

Ecuador on the other hand are surprisingly ahead of Seleção on the points table. The Tricolours are ranked fifth on the standings with eight points in six games. They are undefeated in their last five qualifier games and will be keen to continue in the same rhythm.

Players to watch 

Endrick (Brazil) 

The Seleção prodigy has been the talk of the town ever since his move to the Spanish capital. Endrick lived up to all the hype by scoring a goal on his debut against Real Valladolid and becoming one of the youngest players to score on his Real Madrid debut. He will want to carry forward the same run of form and intent for the national team as well and help them get back to winning ways.

Felix Torres (Ecuador)

The 27-year-old is one of the most influential players for Ecuador and has played a crucial part in their World Cup qualifiers so far. Torres is known for his domination in aerial duels and goal-scoring abilities. He is Ecuador’s top scorer in the qualifiers with two goals to his name. Standing at 6’2, the defender is not an easy opposition to deal with.
