Recent Form and Head‑to‑Head Record

Argentina have been cruising through their last five matches with three wins, one draw and only one loss. Their attack is clicking, especially after the recent friendly where they scored four goals. Ecuador, on the other hand, has had a mixed run – two wins, two draws and a defeat in the same span.

Key Players to Watch

For Argentina, keep an eye on their talismanic forward who’s netted 10 goals in the last ten games. He’s quick, good with both feet and loves to take penalties. Midfield is anchored by a veteran playmaker who controls tempo and drops deep to help defend.

Ecuador relies heavily on a speedy winger who creates chances from the flanks. Their striker is known for aerial prowess – expect a few dangerous crosses into his zone. Defensive midfield will be crucial, as they need to break up Argentina’s rhythm.

Both teams have coaches who love attacking football, so you can expect an open game with plenty of chances.
