We say: Ecuador 2-1 Venezuela

Venezuela may have got the better of Ecuador in last year's Copa America, but that contest took place in a neutral venue in the United States. Their opponents will have home advantage for Friday's contest, and we think that could be crucial given the fact that the visitors have lost 13 of their last 15 away qualifiers. Read more.
