Argentina vs Ecuador Match Preview

So far, the World Champions have strolled through the tournament winning all 3 group games without conceding a goal. Argentina have won their last 8 matches and I see no reason for that to end against Ecuador.

Ecuador have struggled in all 3 of their matches so far and they are now coming up against the competition favourites. My ratings suggest Argentina are 1.30 goal favourites and I doubt if Ecuador can take them to penalties.
