The defending champion Argentina currently possesses all the elements of “right time, right place, right people” to advance to win their 2nd consecutive Copa America title. Their players are showing very high form with 3 wins in the group stage and advancing as the group leader, falling into a relatively easy bracket and avoiding the toughest opponents. Even in the final match of the group stage, coach Lionel Scaloni rested most of the main players. Despite that, Argentina still won, and the key players rested to prepare for the quarter-final match on July 5th. The first obstacle in the quarter-final match that La Albiceleste has to face will be Ecuador, a team considered relatively difficult to deal with.
La Tri had to struggle to draw against Mexico in the final match to secure a thrilling ticket to the next round, however, standing as the runner-up in the group stage made them face Argentina early. Just by looking at how the two teams have performed recently, one can see a big difference between the two teams, from which predictions suggest that the stars of Tango will easily advance to the semi-finals.
However, according to many experts, the factor of playing style could help Ecuador make it difficult for the reigning world champions. In the midfield area, while the Argentine players possess technical and short-passing stars, Ecuador prioritizes using players like Moise Caicedo to disrupt the opponent’s play. Felix Sanchez’s squad may even consider committing fouls to reduce the fighting spirit of the opponent. Against a tough and ready-to-collide opponent, Argentina is likely to have difficulty scoring in the first half. In the first 45 minutes, the likelihood of a goal is not high, but fans can also consider the corner kick bet due to the expected pressure from La Albiceleste.

In fact, Argentina’s recent matches have shown that this team often struggles against opponents who apply a similar playing style to Ecuador, or even La Tri itself has caused many difficulties for La Albiceleste in their encounters. Just in the last 5 meetings, Argentina won 4 matches against Ecuador, but 3 of those victories were only at a score of 1-0.
Argentina is a team with a very strong attack, but evidence from the past also speaks to the difficulty of the white and blue team whenever facing Ecuador on any field. Players like Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, or Lionel Messi should still be cautious with their ball possession, as they may have to face “unyielding” situations from the fighters on the Ecuadorian side at any time.
Based on extremely detailed statistics, experts follow Argentina vs Ecuador predictions and analyze some betting odds with very favorable odds that fans can refer to. First is the under/over bet with a total score of 2/2.5 for the whole match, with 3/5 of the latest matches between the two teams ending with a score of 1-0 and only 1 match having more than 2 goals. In addition, this match is very likely to have a bet on the number of yellow cards due to Ecuador’s rough play. Coach Felix Sanchez’s team will have to use fouls to proactively stop early attacks from Argentina. Tango players are also not to be underestimated as they are often the focus of clashes, notably Rodrigo De Paul and Cuti Romero. Finally, experts have an interesting bet that Lautaro Martinez will score. The Inter Milan striker is in good form with 4 goals in 3 group stage matches, and the likelihood that Lautaro will only come off the bench in the quarter-final match (Julian Alvarez takes the starting spot) will push the odds of him scoring higher. Prediction for Argentina vs Ecuador: Under full-time goals, Over full-time yellow cards, Lautaro Martinez to score.
