Argentina vs Ecuador Prediction: 5/7/2024

Argentina will be looking to maintain their perfect record in the 2024 Copa America as they face Ecuador in the quarter-finals. La Albiceleste are aiming for their ninth consecutive win across all competitions. With key players Lionel Messi and Alexis Mac Allister returning to the starting lineup, a victory for Argentina seems likely. Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, who scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Peru, is expected to retain his spot in the lineup.

Ecuador, on the other hand, advanced to the quarter-finals after a goalless draw with Mexico. Given their inconsistent performance during the group stages, betting on the reigning champions Argentina appears to be a wise choice. Ecuador faces an additional challenge as Royale Union SG midfielder Kevin Rodriguez was injured in their last group game, with Carlos Gruezo from San Jose Earthquakes expected to replace him.

Prediction: Argentina to win 1-0.
