Backing the better odds! I should think that both these sides will come to this game in a very positive frame of mind. Venezuela for sure, as their 0-0 draw with Brazil was a great result, while the Ecuador 0-0 with Paraguay game was more of a normal result.
One point separated these two sides in the South American World cup qualifying group 2010, with Ecuador one point ahead of Venezuela in the table. Then you should know that Venezuela won away...

La Rojiblanca, ranked 49 in the world, prevailed the last time they faced El Tri in the Copa America, winning 1-0 in the 2001 edition in Colombia.
