Argentina – Ecuador : Preview & Prediction
Argentina had an almost perfect course during the group stage of this Copa America. The Albiceleste finished in first place in their group, pocketing 10 points out of 12 in play and still remaining undefeated in this competition. After a sluggish start against Chile (1-1), Lionel Messi’s partners seem to gain momentum and they have just won 3 wins ahead of Uruguay (1-0), Paraguay (1-0) and Bolivia (4-1). During the last meeting of the Albiceleste, the Pulga scored a brace and in the process his first two goals in the competition. Bodes well for his selection, which faces a defeated Ecuador team in their last three direct confrontations (1-3, 1-6, 0-1). The Tri were hot and obtained their qualification for the quarter-finals with 1 point ahead of Venezuela and above all having won no match since the start of the event! Indeed, the selection of Alfaro, looking for success for 6 meetings, is on a current series of 3 draws in a row in this Copa America against Venezuela (2-2), Peru (2-2 ) and Brazil (1-1) after 1 defeat against Colombia (0-1) on the first day. Between October 2020 and March 2021, Ecuador had achieved a good series of 4 victories in a row, especially against Uruguay (4-2) and Colombia (6-1) but since then Mena’s teammates have been in the hollow of the wave after this poor dynamic which should continue against Argentina.
Argentina have been undefeated for 17 games in all competitions.
The Albiceleste is on an ongoing series of 3 straight wins in this Copa America.
Ecuador has not won since 6 games (3 draws and 3 losses).
The band to Messi has won the last 3 duels against Ecuador (3-1, 6-1, 1-0).
Ecuador has beaten Argentina only once in their last 9 duels.
Argentina should find itself in the last four of this Copa America after a success that seems to be promised against an Ecuadorian selection which has had a string of poor performances for 6 matches.
