Starting with a win will be key.

Predictions and forecasts for Ecuador vs. Venezuela
Ecuador triumph: 1.80 to 1 (-125)
Venezuela’s progress in recent years is notable and commendable. Vinotinto even dreams of playing in its first World Cup in the next World Cup. However, Ecuador continues to be a difficult rival, which has cost them a lot. La Tri barely lost one of the last 10 games against each other, which adds to the already mentioned good current streak.
With this background, it is likely that Ecuador will keep the three points in the United States and thus start on the right foot a competition that saw it in the quarterfinals in the 2021 edition (lost to Argentina).
Less than 2.5 total goals: 1.60 to 1 (-165)
Fans want to see goals, but Ecuador vs. Venezuela probably won’t put on a great show in the areas. Neither team is characterized by its forwards beyond having heavy names like Enner Valencia or Salomon Rondón. La Tri barely surpassed the 2.5 scream line twice in its last eight presentations, while La Vinotinto achieved it on a couple of occasions in the last 12.
Ecuador’s 1-0 victory over Venezuela in 2021 and the recent 0-0 in 2023 give greater support to this pick.
