Brazil have already wrapped up top spot in Copa America Group B but will still be keen to keep their winning run going when facing Ecuador.
The Selecao have prevailed in 10 straight matches, with Tite’s clinical team keeping clean sheets in eight of those victories.
They have also won to nil in their last three encounters with Ecuador, who have gone five head-to-head meetings since last scoring.
All that points towards 21/20 for the hosts to oblige without conceding again being the way to go with our first Brazil vs Ecuador prediction.
A Look At Brazil’s Betting Odds
Admittedly, Brazil did have to come from behind to win their last contest 2-1 but that was against a high-class opponent in Colombia.
Luis Diaz gave Los Cafeteros a surprise lead early on when meeting Juan Cuadrado’s deep cross with a spectacular volley.
The Selecao equalised in controversial circumstances, with the ball hitting referee Nestor Pitana in the build-up before Roberto Firmino headed past David Ospina.
Pitana waved away Colombia’s protests that play should have been stopped and their misery was compounded when Casemiro nodded in a Neymar corner deep into stoppage time.
Anyone witnessing Brazil’s celebrations would not question their desire to carry on winning, even with nothing at stake for them here.
After previously beating Venezuela 3-0 and Peru 4-0, the hosts have now netted twice on 89 minutes and bagged a couple of injury-time goals in their three group games.
Looking at the Brazil vs Ecuador odds, they are 8/5 to outscore their opponents between 75:01 minutes and full-time once more.
A Look At Ecuador’s Betting Odds
Ecuador kicked off with a 1-0 defeat by Colombia before drawing 2-2 against Venezuela and Peru.
Mexico-based front man Ayrton Preciado netted in each of those stalemates and is a player to watch out for.
La Tri incredibly scored 13 goals in wins over Uruguay, Bolivia and Colombia last winter, so they do like to play good football.
However, Brazil eased to a 2-0 win over them in a Porto Alegre World Cup qualifier earlier this month, when Richarlison and Neymar hit the target.
The Selecao are expected to dominate possession again and 11/2 for a repeat of that scoreline completes our Brazil vs Ecuador betting tips.
