Match preview
Ecuador entered the current international window with a new manager after Sebastian Beccacece replaced Felix Sanchez following a quarter-final exit at the 2024 Copa America.
Beccacece was unable to take anything from his first game in charge as his side fell to a narrow defeat in their away meeting with Brazil.
Rodrygo's first-half strike proved enough to condemn Ecuador to a narrow 1-0 defeat, bringing an end to their five-game unbeaten run in World Cup qualifying.
While they may have experienced an unsuccessful trip to Brazil, La Tri still have one unbeaten streak to defend, having avoided defeat in each of their last nine home World Cup qualifiers.
However, they will be wary of the fact that their most recent home loss in World Cup qualifying took place against Peru in June 2021.
In contrast to their hosts, Peru were unable to make it out of their group at the 2024 Copa America, where they mustered just one point from their three matches.
After failing to score at the Copa America, La Blanquirroja would have been relieved to get on the scoresheet in Friday's World Cup qualifier against Colombia.
However, they would have ultimately finished the game in a frustrated mood after Alexander Callens saw his opener cancelled out by Luis Diaz's 82nd-minute equaliser.
As a result of the 1-1 draw, Peru are still searching for their first win of the qualifying campaign, with their three-point tally leaving them five points adrift of the automatic qualification places.
La Blanquirroja may at least be able to take some confidence from the fact that they have won three of their last four World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador (D1).
Possible starting lineup:
Ecuador
Galindez ;Torres, Pacho, Hincapie; Preciado, Franco, Caicedo, Paez, Estupinan; Rodriguez, Valencia
Peru
Gallese; Araujo, Zambrano, Callens; Advincula, Cartagena, Tapia, Pena, Lopez; Valera, Lapadula
