Hey fellas. This is a very interesting game. Sportsbetting websites overrate Portugal national team a lot due to Cristiano Ronaldo and the truth is that even with CR7, Portugal national team is far from meeting their expectations. Portugal's last 3 performances were very poor (tied Gabon and North Irland and lost to Russia), and even though they play at home, they face a team that's been together for years, more dangerous than Portugals previous opponents and the runner up in South America World Cup qualifier, couple points behind Argentina and they've been performing really well lately. Ecuador is getting 8-1 odds for winning the game and Ecuador +1 @2.80 which I think is def. worth a shot. Portugal do play at home but thats where I think the problem lays. Ecuador is a fast and organized team that plays better counter-attacking against a poor defensive team then playing under pressure penetrating solid defenses. Also I read that Ronaldo may not play due to excessive muscular fatigue.

friendlies are tricky, but the Portugal coach has said he wants this game to spark momentum for upcoming WC qualifiers, and will name a strong team.
Ecuador will not be at full strength either..
"Ecuador are likely to be without highly-rated central defender Erazo Frickson after the 24-year-old picked up an adductor problem, which means Oscar Bagui is likely to win his 17th cap. The absence of Michael Arroyo should also open up a spot for lively Morelia winger Jefferson Montero, who will play opposite Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia."
also, CR7 will play
"My body and soul is with the national team," Ronaldo told Efe News Agency. "It is with great pride that I represent Portugal and whether or not I am at 100 percent I plan to make my contribution."
