Latest team news for Peru vs Ecuador
Despite the inconsistent campaign, coach Ibáñez still trusts the existing core squad. In the most recent match, Edison Flores was chosen to replace Andre Carrillo (injured) – the only change from the March call-up.
The back four of Luis Advincula, Carlos Zambrano, Renzo Garces, and Marcos Lopez are likely to continue to play in goal for veteran goalkeeper Pedro Gallese. Up front, Paolo Guerrero remains the expected spearhead to lead the attack.
Ecuador will continue to be without the services of their greatest goalscorer in history – Enner Valencia – due to a grade three muscle injury sustained while playing for Internacional, which is expected to keep him out of action for several weeks.
Without Valencia, coach Beccacece switched to a 4-4-2 formation, with striker John Yeboah (Venezia) in the attacking duo – and he is likely to continue starting.
Moisés Caicedo (Chelsea) will remain in midfield as the defensive anchor, while Willian Pacho – the recent Champions League winner – will continue to command Ecuador's defense.

Ecuador:
Valle; Ordonez, Pacho, Hincapie, Estupinan; Angulo, Vite, Caicedo, Minda; Yeboah, Franco
Latest football match prediction: Peru vs Ecuador
Currently unbeaten in their last eight matches, Ecuador have fallen into a familiar pattern: failing to score in two consecutive games – the second time this has happened in their recent run.
Despite the 0-1 defeat to Brazil in September 2024, "La Tri" has yet to avenge that loss, but coach Sebastian Beccacece can be pleased that his players have overcome difficulties to get closer to qualifying for the World Cup.
Having been deducted 3 points early in the qualifying campaign for using an ineligible player in the 2022 qualifiers, Ecuador started at a disadvantage, but staged an impressive comeback with 7 wins, 6 draws, and only 2 losses.
This achievement propelled Ecuador to second place in the CONMEBOL regional rankings, six points ahead of seventh-placed Venezuela with three matches remaining.
They have already secured a place in the intercontinental play-offs, and a win on Monday could see Ecuador officially qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup. However, history is not on their side in recent away matches against Peru.
Ecuador have failed to win in their last three away matches against Peru in World Cup qualifiers, with two defeats and one draw – and they are determined to break that jinx under the lights of Lima.
On the other side of the battlefield, although Peru usually dominates when hosting Ecuador at home, they often show a lackluster performance when playing away – evidenced by their 0-1 defeat in the first leg in Quito, extending their winless streak to five matches at that time.
Although they later ended their winless streak with a surprise victory against Uruguay, La Bicolor fell back into a vicious cycle. It wasn't until their 3-1 win against Bolivia that they gained another three points – only to then re-enter their current winless run.
Peru failed to score in their last two matches – a 0-1 loss to Venezuela and a goalless draw with Colombia. Although that resilient performance earned them a point, Oscar Ibáñez's team remains in ninth place with 11 points, and any result other than a win would effectively end their chances of qualifying through the play-offs.
Nevertheless, home advantage remains a glimmer of hope for Peru: they are unbeaten in their last five home qualifying matches (winning two), and only lost to Argentina and Brazil in the early rounds.
