THE PREDICTION

The reigning world champions begin their defence of the World Cup by welcoming Ecuador to their home turf, and anything other than a home win would be a massive surprise here for a squad that is largely similar to that which went all the way in Qatar. Lionel Scaloni’s men were unbeaten in their last CONMEBOL qualifying campaign, which came in the middle of their historic 36-game unbeaten run. Ecuador are certainly no pushovers and will be fully expecting to make it the 2026 World Cup, but they will be second best here against a well-oiled machine. Expect a fast start from the hosts in this one.

BETTING TIP: Double result – Argentina / Argentina
