Ecuador vs Argentina Preview and Team News
Ecuador team news
Over the years, the Ecuador has developed in a team that controls matches through occupation, contrary to their historical identity as a counter-perfect force.
The figures are impressive: Their defense record is best in Conmbol, only five goals have been scored in the World Cup 2026 qualification. The final successful performance is based on the extraordinary skills of players such as Arsenal's Pierro HinkiPi and Chelsea's Moices Jayado. Together, they make the origin of a young, dynamic and technically talented squad.
However, Ecuador's Newfound Dominance has not translated into continuous victory. In his latest match, he played a 0–0 draw against Paraguay, reflecting his overall campaign. He controlled the ball for a long time but struggled to break a well -organized defense.

This was his fourth consecutive draw, a run in the last third with a lack of clinical sports. Veteran Forward Energy Valencia remains its main threat, but the assistant players have struggled to convert the occupation into round-scoring opportunities.
Coach Sebastian Backes is unlikely to make major changes, as he wants to test his favorite system against the best in the world.
The physical condition of their players will be important. Their high-energy pressure style is in demand, and playing at home provides an advantage.

Coach Lionel Skaloni often appoints a 4–2–2-2-2 system, where full-back width is provided, allowing midfielders and forwards to go in and make surcharge in the center areas. The strategy was used clearly in their match against Venezuela, where they dominated the middle of the pitch.
For this trip, Skaloni has some selection problems. Enzo Fernández has been suspended for two matches by FIFA after a red card. Paulo Diabala is also out with Lisandro Martinez and Fesundo Medina.
However, it opens the door to others. The squad in Scaloni included youths such as Franco Mastentuono and Thiago Alma.
Additionally, Messi and Skaloni agreed that they would rest and do not travel to Guiana. He recently continues to recover from injury and focuses on managing his fitness for upcoming matches.
Argentina predicted lineup vs Ecuador (4-2-2-2): Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; D Paul, Paradees; Mastantuono, Almada; Martinez, álvarez.

Ecuador vs Argentina Prophecy
- choose: Ecuador will not lose
- odds: 1.58 (22BET)
- Score prediction: Ecuador 0-0 Argentina
It is highly likely that Ecuador will try to deny the space for Argentina at the center of the pitch in this match. Ja comedo (if he plays) and Pedro Wet can interrupt the game of the opponent's midfielders and neutralize their main strength.
In Argentina, later Massey era (on Wednesday), it will be necessary to prove that their system is a star as its individual components. Movement and interaction will be important among Andlvarez, Thiago Almada, and potential masstantuono.
As a result, there is a possibility of a draw. Ecuador will be defensively strong and highly motivated, making them difficult to lose at home.
Ecuador vs Argentina prediction, betting tip
- choose: Total under 2.5
- odds: 1.45 (22BET)
Both teams have scored the least goals in the qualifier for the 2026 World Cup in South America.
Argentina is no longer motivated to win at all costs and perhaps will not break through the reliable defense of the Ecuador.
The hosts have scored only two goals and are not lost in 8 domestic sports, so they will be very inspired to show another solid defensive performance. However, there may be a lack of resources to score more than one goal against Argentina in Ecuador, such as guests will fight to net more than one ball.
We can expect a low scoring match.
