Argentina are always involved in starting of any round in this tournament, so far Argentina has been performing excellently in all their games which I always have confidence in their games because of the consistency in win, I don't think this one will be an exception because already Argentina have good record over Ecuador which I believe will continue, for the last five meetings Argentina haven't lost a match against Ecuador so I just expected this match should just be like bonus for Argentina to win, is not that am underestimating Ecuador but it's the fact. What your thoughts on this match?
In today's game, Argentina team has not been able to attack strongly, Ecuador team is performing very well. 28 minutes of the game, but neither team was able to score, the two teams are equally fit. If the Argentina team continues to perform like this, it will be more likely to turn into a game night at the end. Team captain Lionel Messi has yet to help their gallery visitors by then performance. The performance of the Ecuador team is good so far in this match today.
The most likely scenario for this challenge is certainly a victory in favor of Argentina.
The competition has reached the knockout stage, and the favorites to advance to the stage are, without a doubt, the Argentines in this match, who qualified as leaders of a group that included Chile, who did not progress to the stage, and should advance to the quarterfinals. Argentina is one of the big favorites and the current champions so far... in addition to having the best defense, without having conceded goals so far.
On the other hand, Ecuador has 4 goals scored and 3 conceded.
So, it is unthinkable to bet against Argentina, they will certainly demonstrate their quality of play on the field and beat the Ecuadorian team.
I bet for Argentina, they should have been aggressive from the start. Martinez, who wears the number 25 jersey, was able to score in the 35th minute by Herr. Argentina really performed very strongly in this match. So far this match is often winnable but needs more goals. One goal should never be certain so more goals are needed to be certain.
