We are not getting too cocky yet though, as once again the clean sweep of predictions was ruined by one rogue result. Portugal continuing in their international funk, played to a goalless draw against Sweden.

But that is now history, and tonight Brazil takes on Ecuador in Quito, offering another opportunity to earn a little bit more lolly before the new week begins.

The match is not as straight-forward as it may appear for the Samba Boys. Home advantage is definitely a factor, as the high altitude gives the hosts a large step-up on their opponents from the get-go.

This has proven critical in the past, with Ecuador beating Brazil 1-0 the last time the pair met in Quito back in 2004.

Dunga will be hampered having to field a side lacking the influential Kaka, while Adriano is also sidelined with an ankle problem.

The creative responsibility will instead fall on the shoulders of Ronaldinho, which has taken most by shock considering the bucked-toothed wonder has barely featured for AC Milan since the turn of the year. We wait to see the state of the ring-rust.

And then there are the Ecuadorians themsleves, who have footballers capable of being match-winners.

Ecuador head coach Vizuete has been hit with injuries to Felix Borja, Carlos Tenorio, and Pedro Quinonez. However, two key midfielders, Antonio Valencia and Edison Mendez have been passed fit and will start the match.

Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo is likely to start up front alongside the excellent Christian Benitez (2/1 to score) and the visitors will have plenty of problems containing them.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to look past Brazil. Having played Italy off the park in their last competitive friendly, Brazil seems to have gotten their swagger back after a slow start to World Cup qualifying.

Pato (5/4 to score) and Luis Fabiano will lead the front line, offering graft, endeavour, and pace that will cause the home defense serious problems. And with Robinho (11/8 to score) also offering a devastating attacking threat, Brazil will score goals.

Banking on an entertaining affair, we are staking £10 at 10/11 on there being more than 2.5 goals in the contest.
