«Qatar» – «Ecuador» Prediction
11/20/2022The opening match of the 2022 World Cup will take place on Sunday, 20 November, at 19:00 Moscow time in El Haour at the Al Bayt Stadium, where the national teams of Qatar and Ecuador will face each other. According to bookmakers, the visitors are the favourites for this encounter. However, the insane support of Qatari fans may pay off. Will the opening match bring the first sensation at the tournament? Let's take a look at what the odds say.
Qatar
Suggested line-up:
5-3-2 scheme
Goalkeeper: Barsham (Al Shadd)
Defence: Mohammad (Al Duhail), Tarek (Al Sadd), Huhi (Al Sadd), Al Bayati (Al Sadd), Ahmed (Al Gharafa)
Midfield: Madibo (Al-Duhail), Al-Ahraq (Al-Duhail), Hatim (Al-Rayyan)
Offence: Almoez (Al Duhail), Afif (Al Sadd)
The Qatari national team is made up of players who play in the national championship, with only three players worth over one million dollars on the transfer market. Even by Asian standards, the Qatari premiership looks weak. However, Qatari players are capable of surprising feats, such as at the 2019 Asian Cup, which Qatar won sensationally. The Maroon has never played in the final stages of the World Cup before, but they should clearly not be underestimated. The support of their stands can help Qatar create some sensations during the group stage.

Ecuador
Suggested line-up:
4-3-3 formation
Goalkeeper: Galindes (Aucas)
Defence: Estupinan (Villarreal), Hincapie (Bayer), Arboleda (Sao Paulo), Castillo (Leon)
Midfield: Caicedo (Brighton), Grueso (Augsburg), Franco (Calderes Cordoba)
Attack: Ibarra (Pachuca), Estrada (DC United), Plata (Valladolid)
The Ecuadorian national team made a fairly confident run to the World Cup final, finishing fourth in the qualifying tournament. The Ecuadorians are just as good at scoring, perhaps not as well as Argentina, with Messi at the helm, but great nonetheless. However, it should be understood that Ecuador is renowned for its strong home play in high-altitude conditions. In away matches and in major world forums, this team does not look seem to perform as well as they do on home ground. In the first game of the World Cup group stage, Alfaro's men may face problems.
The odds of Qatar and Ecuador winning, according to bookmakers
The bookmakers see Qatar as the underdog in the upcoming meeting. The odds are 121/50 to win Qatar.
Betting on Ecuador's victory will increase your bankroll by 126%. The bookmakers' odds for Ecuador to win is 63/50.
Qatar vs Ecuador: Betting on handicaps
The Ecuadorian team looks stronger than their rivals in standing. Therefore, fans of handicap betting should look into the option of Ecuador winning with a handicap (0) – 14/25. However, Qatar will do its best not to lose face in front of the loyal fans that came out to support them. Therefore, a bet on Qatar winning with a handicap (0) – 34/25 could bring a good profit.
Qatar vs Ecuador: Betting on totals
The Qatari team's matches are rarely productive. Ecuador will also be cautious in the first game of the tournament. The best bet on totals is Total less than 2.5 goals (Under 2.5) – 39/50.
Interesting facts before the Qatar-Ecuador match
The national teams of Qatar and Ecuador faced each other in a friendly in 2018. That match was held in Doha and ended in a 4-3 victory for Qatar.
Bookmakers have absolutely no faith in the national teams of Qatar and Ecuador in the upcoming Mundial. The odds of them winning the tournament are 249/1 and 199/1.
Qatar - Ecuador match prediction
