Chile drew 0-0 in its final 2023 World Cup qualifier, despite having an extra man for almost half of the match. La Roja currently occupies eighth place in the table, while the top six qualify automatically and the seventh enters an interconfederation playoff. Although Chile is tied on points with Ecuador and Paraguay, both in the top seven, they have yet to face Brazil and Argentina, who rarely give up points easily in the qualifying process.
In Ecuador’s case, defensive solidity has been the key to their recent success, as they reached the last World Cup with six consecutive clean sheets, before keeping a clean sheet in the opener against Qatar. Felix Sanchez Bas’ side kept a clean sheet in their last two matches, both of which ended 0-0, against Colombia and Venezuela. Those results were followed by two wins in September and October, where Ecuador beat Bolivia to remain the only team to have beaten Uruguay so far in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers.
The match for week 6 of the Conmebol Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup is scheduled at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado Stadium in Quito.
The venue, located in the capital of Ecuador, is also known as the White House because it is owned by the Liga Deportiva Universitaria, a club that wears white in its uniform.
