Prediction: Ecuador 1-2 Brazil

Both sides are in good form ahead of this clash and we can expect an evenly fought contest.

With the absence of key players, Brazil could be slightly under the pump but have enough resources to eke out a result.

It’s two of the top 4 sides meeting, which makes for a good watch.

Players to watch out for: Preciado, Valencia, Vinicius Jr and Fred.
