Prediction: 2-1
Bolivia
Red Bull Arena will host Sunday’s friendly between Ecuador and Bolivia, the two South American sides. Ecuador are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Bolivia and the bookies see La Tricolor as hot favourites to win this match. Teenager Kendry Paez (16) has received a shocking call-up, but he eventually failed to make the cut due to visa problems.
As always, a man to watch in Felix Sanchez’s team will be Enner Valencia, who signed a deal with Inter de Porto Alegre. Los Verdes, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia, but seeing that Ecuador do not suit them, we predict that the nominal hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Marcelo Moreno is not getting any older, meaning that the opposition back-line should have the Bolivia captain at bay. Moreno has netted 31 goals in 100 appearances for the national team.
Highlighted Player (Enner Valencia):
Enner Valencia is a prolific 26-year-old striker who plays for West Ham United in the English Premier League. Nicknamed “Superman”, Valencia started his career with Emelec in 2010. He enjoyed league success with Emelec and was awarded the “Copa Sudamericana Golden Boot” in 2013.
He also played for Pachuca in Mexico winning the Liga MX Golden Boot in 2014. His goal-scoring record and pace caught the attention of West Ham which bought him for an estimated £12 million in July 2014. At international level, Valencia made his debut in 2012 and has represented the country in 24 games so far. He is one of Ecuador’s top ten goal scorers of all time with 14 goals.
He has already represented Ecuador at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2015 Copa America tournaments. Enner Valencia is Ecuador’s joint top scorer – along with Agustin Delgado – in World Cup tournaments with three goals.
Highlighted Team (Bolivia):
Bolivian Football Federation has been established in 1926 and it is one of the 10 member of South American Football Confederation. Managed by Julio César Baldivieso, La Verde have gone through difficult times since their second place finish at Copa America 1997.
Three-time World Cup participants have last appeared at the global stage in 1994 and they have never gone past the first round on any of the three tournaments, scoring only one goal at the tournament held in the USA. Bolivia took part in 24 Copa America tournaments since their debut in 1926 and the most prominent result was their 1963 title.
Luis Hector Cristaldo and Marco Sandy are the two players with most caps for Bolivia with their 93 international appearances, while Joaquin Botero’s name still stands at the top of the scoring charts with the former Bolivian international netting 20 during his time with the national team.
