Argentina Preview – Can Argentina continue run?
Argentina have done enough in each of their Copa America games to date to progress through to this quarter-final clash against Ecuador on Saturday evening with Lionel Scaloni’s side looking to pick up a fourth win on the trot.
Whilst Argentina’s progress has been slow and at times, unconvincing, they’ve nevertheless negotiated the group stage without defeat and finished top of Group A and three points behind group runners-up, Uruguay.
A frustrating and disappointing 1-1 draw with Chile in their opening match of the tournament was followed by improved performances against Uruguay 1-0, Paraguay 1-0 and a resounding 4-1 victory over Bolivia, so this momentum may be too much for Ecuador here.
Ecuador Preview – Can Ecuador pull off upset?
Ecuador made the most of the new format which sees the top four placed teams of each group qualify for the knockout rounds as they finished in 4th place in Group B above bottom placed Venezuela, but this now means that they face a mountain to climb against Argentina on Saturday.
Although they’ve reached the quarter-finals stage, Ecuador have still yet to win a game in this year’s Copa America tournament as they’ve drawn with Venezuela, Peru and Brazil following an opening 1-0 defeat to Colombia.
In addition, Ecuador have recorded just two wins out of their last 23 matches in the competition while also losing their last three meetings on the trot against Argentina.
