USA vs Ecuador prediction

Underperformance at last summer’s CONMEBOL Copa America and then in both the CONCACAF Nations League and the CONCACAF Gold Cup this year has led to pressure growing on Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT. The Americans did, though, manage to impressively defeat Japan by two goals to nil in a friendly last week.

They now face an Ecuador side that have an impressive squad coming through, under the management of Sebastian Beccacece. Nicknamed ‘The Tri’, Ecuador will believe they can go deep into the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They defeated Argentina by a goal to nil to round off their CONMEBOL qualifying campaign last month.

Ecuador will try and dictate the play with their impressive cohesion, including defensively, so they should contain and control a still disorganised and disjointed USA.

USA vs Ecuador tip: Double chance – Ecuador to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
