Colombia vs Ecuador Betting Tips - Colombia to Win

Colombia will be keen to get back on the winning saddle when they host Ecuador in Barranquilla this week. Nestor Lorenzo´s side slipped to a remarkable 3:2 defeat in Uruguay on Friday with both teams netting in a dramatic stoppage time finale.

Having enjoyed a ten-game unbeaten run in qualification matches, Colombia have now lost two of their last three qualifiers over the past month. Still, despite those setbacks, Los Cafeteros remain on course to qualify for the 2026 finals, with 19 points from 11 games played leaving them third in the section. The top six nations in South America´s ten-team league qualify for the competition. 

Strong in home matches, Lorenzo´s men won five of their last six qualifiers in Barranquilla, while they lost just one of 12 previous qualifiers on their own turf. 

Ecuador make the trip to Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in high spirits after a comfortable 4:0 win against Bolivia last week. Gonzalo Plata´s double-strike helped extend La Tri´s unbeaten run to four matches. 

Less impressive on their travels, Ecuador failed to win five of their last six road qualifiers (W1, D2, L3), while they have won just one of their last eight matches against Los Cafeteros. Colombia won five of those games, including a 1:0 success when they last hosted the Ecuadorians in 2021.

Home advantage often proves crucial in South American World Cup qualifiers and I expect that to again prove the case this week. 

I´m backing Colombia to claim a likely hard-fought, low-scoring win in Barranquilla.
