Argentina vs Ecuador Match Preview And Prediction
Argentina vs Ecuador: On Sunday night at Soldier Field in Chicago, Argentina will play a friendly against Ecuador to begin their Copa America preparations. Given how well both teams have been playing lately, an entertaining match on US soil is anticipated.
In their 12 games after winning the World Cup, Argentina has won 11 of them. In none of Ecuador’s previous five games, three goals or more were scored. Out of Argentina’s six prior games, only two yielded three goals or more.
After the first six games of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying campaign, the defending World Cup and Copa America champions are in first place with five wins and one loss. Lionel Scaloni, the head coach, is very happy with his team’s recent defensive performances. Albiceleste gave in only two goals in six World Cup qualifiers.
Ecuador will enter this with great enthusiasm as well. Out of the last seven games across all competitions, they have only lost one. Italy, the current European champions, defeated them in an exhibition in March of this year. Ecuador has only suffered one loss in six games, good for fifth place in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying rankings.
In September of last year, Argentina defeated Ecuador 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier. In their six prior head-to-head matches against the Ecuadorians, La Albiceleste had won five and drawn one. Out of the four previous head-to-head matches between these rivals, just one resulted in three or more goals.
