Qatar vs Ecuador World Cup Match Prediction
The World Cup begins in Qatar, as the hosts face Ecuador in their inaugural game on the international stage. For both sides, this game in Group A is crucial since they both need to get three points. This is since the two group favorites, Senegal, and the Netherlands, play against each other. A victory for Qatar or Ecuador would give them a strong head start in the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Given the inexperience of this Qatari team, it is not surprising that Ecuador is favored in this game. The contest is projected to be low scoring because the total is highly skewed to the Under. But there is value here because both sides play more offensively. Here is the Qatar vs Ecuador FIFA World Cup match prediction, lineups, and head-to-head so that will help our readers to make your Fantasy Football Team or place bet accordingly.
The key to this game is that both the QAT and ECU teams do not hesitate to advance and pursue goals. Additionally, because they all play aggressively, the game can end with more than one goal.
In recent games, Qatar has scored a respectable number of goals. Before losing to the USA in the semi-finals of the 2021 Gold Cup, they scored a total of twelve goals in four games. This has also been shown by Ecuador, who has scored in eight of their previous nine Football World Cup’ qualifying games. Therefore, this game may end with a high score.
Ecuador vs Qatar Head to Head
During a Friendly Game on 12 October 2018, QAT won versus ECU 4-3, being one rare occasion when Qatar went head-to-head with Ecuador.
Qatar National Teams Performance
Since Felix Sanchez’s arrival in Qatar in 2006, the country has made significant development. He started a football program in Qatar after ten years of employment in Barcelona. He oversaw the U-19 selection from 2013 to 2017, and after that, the national team. Under his direction, Qatar is performing admirably, and he was a major factor in their Asian Cup victory three years ago.
Qatar does not have a single player from outside of the country in its squad. Every player competes in a domestic league and is anonymous to the broader public. Almoez Ali, a striker who was born in Sudan, is the finest player. In the offensive phase, Captain Hassan Al-Haydos is also crucial, while left-back Abdelkarim Hassan poses a serious threat.

Ecuador National Teams Performance
On the other side, in 2002, Ecuador made its World Cup debut. They played twice more after that. Their finest performance came in 2006 when England knocked them out in the Round of 16. Ecuador performed admirably throughout CONMEBOL qualifying. Despite coming in fourth, they spent the most time there.
Enner Valencia of Fenerbahce is a standout forward for his country. Michael Estrada, who led the qualifying with numerous significant goals, is also deserving of notice. Robert Arboleda and Piero Hincapie oversee defense, with Carlos Gruezo and Sebas Mendez standing out in midfield. Pervis Estupinan, a left back, is also crucial.
Because the stakes are so high, neither Ecuador nor Qatar will take any chances during this game of the 2022 Football World Cup. We should not anticipate spectacular football as both teams will be waiting for their time. It is not out of the question that this game goes without scoring a single goal, as an equal score is extremely possible for the QAT vs ECU.
