Scheduled to take place at NRG Stadium in Houston on Thursday, Argentina and Ecuador go head-to-head in the quarter finals of the 2024 Copa America, a rematch of the 2021 match in the same stage of the tournament.
Argentina enter this quarter-final with an impressive record in the tournament, having topped Group A with a flawless performance. Under the management of Lionel Scaloni, La Selección have secured victories in all three group stage matches without conceding a single goal.
The Argentines have not fallen behind in a Copa America match since their 2-0 loss to Brazil in the 2019 semi-finals. Moreover, their current form is exceptional, with eight consecutive wins across all competitions, during which they have conceded only two goals.
Historically, Argentina have excelled in the quarter-finals of this tournament, winning their last three appearances by a combined margin of 9-1. Their only quarter-final loss this century came in 2011 when they were defeated by Uruguay on penalties. Notably, Argentina have never lost to Ecuador in Copa America, including a 3-0 victory in the 2021 quarter-final.
Ecuador, despite being under pressure for significant portions of their previous match against Mexico, managed to secure a spot in the knockout phase on goal difference. This marks their second consecutive Copa America quarter-final appearance and their third in the last four editions.
Under the leadership of Félix Sánchez, Ecuador have proven to be a team that is hard to break down, having yet to concede a first-half goal in this tournament. However, their attack has been less prolific, with only one first-half goal scored, in their 2-1 defeat to Venezuela. Ecuador’s last victory against Argentina in a competitive fixture dates back to 2015, when they won 2-0.

Argentina’s form at the moment cannot be ignored and it’s no surprise to see them as favourites for this match. While Ecuador have the capability to frustrate and defend capably, Argentina’s experience and individual talent means they are likely to be ahead come the final whistle.
Match Prediction: Argentina to Win
Despite Argentina’s ability in the final third, we’re not expecting them to run away with this game. Ecuador should once again prove difficult to break down and so a win for Argentina by a single goal is predicted.
Prediction: Argentina 1-0 Ecuador
Given Ecuador’s solid defence, they should be able to limit Argentina to fewer chances than they have been gifted in their other matches so far in this competition. A low-scoring game is expected and so Under 2.5 Goals is our pick.
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
