The result is not important on Friday night, but neither manager will want to suffer a damaging defeat this close to the start of the European Championships; I am expecting an entertaining match but have ultimately settled on a low-scoring draw in Madrid.
I guess that it will be over 1.5 goals in this match.
Both Brazil and Ecuador have been impressive in the early stages of CONMEBOL World Cup qualification, and with the net being found a combined 25 times between the two teams, goals are to be expected on Saturday.
The hosts will be the strong favourites for this encounter and I expect their quality to shine through in Porto Alegre, to maintain their 100% record with another victory.
Home win to the Brzail team!
