Mexico vs Ecuador Prediction & Picks - Copa America

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Copa America Picks

On Sunday evening, the Mexicans will be back in action. They take on Ecuador at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Things are finely poised in Group B, with the Venzuelans holding a suprise lead after two matches, but both Mexico and Ecuador sit on three points each, meaning thatt both have a very real chance of progressing to the knockouts. The trouble is only one of them can advance, making this a huge game for both. Technically, the Ecuadorians could tie this match and progress on goal difference, but that's a dangerous game to play, especially as they don't have the tighest defense.

Mexico - Ecuador: Form Analysis

In their first Copa America fixture, the Ecuadorians weer expected (by most people) to get the job done against Venezuela, but an early red card for their captain and talisman Enner Valencia made things much harder than they should've been, so hard in fact that they ended up losing the game. Fortunately, on match-day two, the men in yellow bounced back with a relatively easy win against the Jamaicans. Having played well in that game, they'll be confident of getting something against a Mexican team that hasn't been at its best of late. 

While the Ecuadorians struggled on match-day one, the Mexicans got the job done, beating Jamaica by a goal to nil, though that win and clean sheet combination did not act as a springboard for further success. On match-day two, El Tri came up short against a surprisingly efficient Venezuelan team. Of course, that defeat was partly their own doing as they missed several good scoring opportunities.

Mexico & Ecuador Squad Analysis

For Ecuador, captain Enner Valencia remains sidelined thanks to that stupid red card on match-day one. Manager Felix Sanchez isn't expected to change too much after his team played well against Jamaica, though if a change is made, Alan Minda is probably the most likely to come in from the start following his goal as a substitute last time out. 

Mexican boss Jaime Lozano could make a few changes following that defeat to Venezuela, with the tricky Alexis Vega a candidate to come in from the start, while Orbelin Pineda, who started against Jamaica, is another likely to return to the starting XI. 

Mexico - Ecuador Key Points

  1. Both teams have scored in each of Ecuador's last four games.
  2. Three of the last four renewals of this fixture have seen both teams score.
  3. The Mexicans have kept just one clean sheet in their last four games.
  4. Ecuador are without a clean sheet in four matches.

Our Mexico vs Ecuador Prediction

At the end of the day, both teams need to go for this. Based on what we've seen so far, neither can rely on any sort of defensive solidity, while both look to be better in attack, so it's probably fair to say that 'Both Teams to Score' looks a little generously priced. After all, the Ecuadorians have made a habit of both scoring and conceding of late, with both teams scoring in each of their first two games in Group B at this Copa America. We know that the Mexicans create lots of chances, we saw that last time out against Venezuela, and they certainly have enough about them to hurt a Ecuador defense that doesn't look too strong, but they leave themselves open at the back, as we also saw against Venezuela, so don't be surprised if El Tri both scores and concedes in this crucial game. Our Prediction: Both Teams to Score.

Mexico vs Ecuador - Other Interesting Picks

Santiago Tomas Gimenez

Mexico forward Santiago Tomas Gimenez hasn't scored at the Copa America yet, but he's not a forward to dismiss lightly. Given Ecuador's rather weak back line, the Feyenoord striker looks a little generously priced to score in this game. After all, this is a man who scored 23 goals in just 30 games in the Dutch top division last season, averaging no less than 3.99 shots (1.86 on target) per 90 minutes. He's also averaging 2.13 shots (1.42 on target) at this tournament.
