In the last match, Ecuador used veteran E. Valencia as a lone striker alongside K. Páez, but both delivered only average performances. Fortunately, PSG defender Pacho and goalkeeper Galíndez performed steadily, keeping the goal secure.
Argentina paired Messi with Álvarez upfront, with Messi scoring twice. Substitute Lautaro was also lively, providing a brilliant assist. Midfielder McAllister did not feature in the last match but is expected to rotate into the lineup this time.
Ecuador has drawn their last four encounters with opponents, showing modest attacking power but solid defense. Argentina’s attacking threat is slightly reduced on the road. With both teams’ motivation uncertain, a low-scoring game is likely.
Recommended Bet: 1–2 Goals
