Argentina aims to secure their fourth consecutive win as they face Ecuador in a highly-anticipated friendly at Soldier Field in Chicago. With significant aspirations for the 2024 Copa America, La Albiceleste view Sunday’s friendly as a crucial preparation for upcoming challenges. Notably, Roma striker Paulo Dybala has been left out of the squad, and injuries have sidelined Nahuel Molina, German Pezzella, Lisandro Martinez, Marcos Acuna, and Enzo Fernandez.
Ecuador, on the other hand, struggled against Italy in their last friendly and face another tough challenge against Argentina. With Leo Messi expected to start for Argentina, the World Cup champions are favored to win. Key players for Ecuador include Enner Valencia, Moises Caicedo, and Piero Hincapie.
Prediction: Argentina 1-0 Ecuador.
