JAKARTA - Ecuador's U-17 national team will face the Brazil U-17 national team in the last 16 of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. The match between the two teams is predicted to be an exciting duel because they bring together a team that is considered by each other.

The match between the Ecuadorian U-17 vs Brazil U-17 national team will take place at the Manahan Stadium, Solo on Monday, November 20 at 15.30 WIB. Ecuador and Brazil qualified for the round of 16 with their respective group runner-up status.

Ecuador, who is in Group A, came out as runners-up from the group stage by collecting 5 points. The result came from one win and two draws.

These statistics reflect quite a stable and consistent performance during the tournament. That way the Ecuadorian U-17 squad has a good chance to go further in this competition.

Meanwhile, Brazil also finished runner-up in Group C with a collection of six points. Despite slumping in the first matchday due to losing to Iran, Selecao managed to win big by beating New Caledonia 9-0 and beating England with a narrow 2-1 win on the last matchday.

The meeting between the two teams is not the first time this has happened. Ecuador's U-17 and Brazil's U-17 previously faced the CONMEBOL U-17 event in the 2023 edition. In these two meetings, Ecuador and Brazil always drew 2-2.

The note shows that the strength of the two is quite balanced. It will also create high anticipation of fierce and exciting fights on the gridiron of Manahan Stadium later.

Because they come from the same region, the Ecuadorian U-17 and Brazilian U-17 national teams have met frequently. Recorded in the last 5 meetings, Ecuador has never won.

Meanwhile, Brazil can be more confident because they are on the superior side. Seeing the record of the last five meetings, Brazil won three times over Ecuador while the remaining two ended in a draw.

Ecuador U-17 and Brazil U-17 appeared as teams that were calculated in the match, but Selecao was the party that was superior because they were also in the status of defending champions. This will be a challenge for Ecuador to break the stigma and appear unexpected.
