Team statistics:

Ecuador have struggled in front of goal in recent months. Their leading attacking players have not found rhythm, and one of their main forwards has yet to score this season for the national team. Curaçao, by contrast, have seen Livano Comenencia register one goal for the island side, underlining his growing influence despite the team’s wider difficulties.

The five previous matches played by the teams:

• Ecuador — L
• Curaçao — L

Recent form offers little comfort for either camp. Ecuador’s last five games read: L, with defeats exposing an attack that lacks cutting edge and a defence that has not consistently protected narrow scorelines. Curaçao’s last five results also show: L, suggesting persistent structural problems and a squad in transition after earlier high points in CONCACAF competition.
