Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Mexico vs. Ecuador at Copa America 2024

  • Where: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, USA
  • When: Monday, June 1, 08:00 AM

This game will decide which teams progress to the knockout stage from Group B. Surprisingly, Venezuela is the top team in this assembly, with Ecuador and Mexico battling for the second spot. La Tri has a slight advantage, meaning they can get away with a tie due to a better goal difference. Mexico needs To be sharp here, and they have to recover following an unexpected defeat to Venezuela. That mental shock is a bigger problem for Sombreros than anything else.

Mexico vs. Ecuador Preview

Mexico

The Mexicans struggled even during the preparation period, showing flaws in every area of the field, particularly defense. They suffered a humiliating 0-4 loss to Uruguay, then saw the back line falling apart vs. Brazil, 2-3, before briefly stopping this negative streak with a minimal 1-0 triumph over Jamaica.

However, against Venezuela, we saw another issue in their performance: finishing. They had 17 goal attempts and seven on target, with massive initiative, yet nothing good came out of all this.

We certainly didn’t expect the Sombreros to be in this position. They were one of the teams mentioned as a dark horse for the title, though only in detailed talks.

Ecuador

Ecuador’s form is on the rise. They have three wins in the previous four games, two of them friendlies, where they beat Bolivia 3-1 and Honduras 2-1. They, too, suffered a defeat to Venezuela, 1-2, but immediately bounced back with a commanding triumph over Jamaica, 3-1.

La Tri has a very fluid midfield, with players who are very well-equipped and cover a huge distance. Moises Caicedo is in the focus, but other guys like supertalented Kendry Paez have their contribution as well.

Unlike other South American teams, Ecuador’s matches are exciting and efficient, with the last four all ending with at least three goals and hits on both ends of the field.

Mexico vs Ecuador Head to Head

The last meeting between Mexico and Ecuador was a friendly in 2022, which saw no goals. The year before that, La Tri was better than Mexico, beating them 2-3, also in a friendly.

Mexico vs. Ecuador Predictions

The game carries a lot of pressure and has high stakes, so we don’t think the respective teams will open right away. Still, given their formations and play styles, goals should take place, and a moderate efficiency, meaning two or three hits is the best pick in this one.

Our verdict: Moderate efficiency 2 or 3 goals
