In a segment of 13 head-to-head matches, the Chile national team has a minimal advantage. They have six wins, five defeats and two draws. Last time teams met in September, in the current qualifying tournament. Then neither side managed to distinguish themselves. At the same time, the Ecuadorian national team remained in the minority for the third time in a row.
Chile
Brooklyn was in a fever at the start of the regular season, but now the Nets are stable. In the last nine games Steve Nash’s men have won eight wins. In recent matches Orlando (123:90), New Orleans (120:112) and Oklahoma (120:96) were beaten. At the beginning of the season everyone expected James Harden to become one of the team leaders. But “Beard” decided to focus on the role of the playmaker. In the last match he gave 13 assists, but scored only 16 points. The second leader of the Nets is vacant. It will probably be occupied by someone else. Perhaps it will be Patty Mills, who scored 29 points in the last meeting.

Ecuador
The national team of Ecuador has surpassed the wildest expectations of the fans in the current selection. The team of Gustavo Alfaro is currently on the third line in the table. In 12 qualifying matches, the Tricolors have 20 points and are four points ahead of Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. Having beaten Venezuela in the last round with a score 1:0, Ecuador interrupted the streak of two matches without victories.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
The Chile national team played two cool matches in October, gaining six points in the confrontation with Paraguay and Venezuela and a few days ago they beat the Paraguayans again, having managed to reach the coveted fourth line. It is obvious that the Chileans will strive to gain a foothold in the leading group and today they will only play to win. While away in the current selection, Ecuador won only one victory, it will be almost unrealistic to survive in Santiago with Chile, which gained momentum and is highly motivated. We believe that guests have no chance. The prediction is a victory for Chile. In bookmaker 1xBet such an outcome is offered with odds of 1.81. The Chile national team has reached the fourth line, but it is extremely difficult to slow down La Roja. The loss of points in today's meeting could turn into a fall by several positions down. In attack the hosts have great performers and they are unlikely to leave Ecuador without a goal, but at the same time, the tricolors are able to play efficiently on counterattacks. An exchange of goals in such a duel with a high degree of probability can take place. Our second bet will be for both to score. Such a bet can be placed for 2.14.
