Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Copa América Femenina match.
Ecuador are under pressure to reach the semi-finals of the home Women’s Copa América. This outcome would also be favourable for CONMEBOL, but a major hurdle remains in the form of Argentina — arguably their strongest opponent.
Ecuador (women)
Matches involving the hosts have consistently produced goals, which has been a key draw for neutral supporters. All three of their group-stage fixtures have seen the Total Over 2.5 goals. Even in their clash with Chile (1:2), the Total Over was reached comfortably before half-time.
Argentina (women)
Argentina have opted for a more restrained style of play. They’ve conceded only once — also against Chile (2:1). Notably, despite holding a clear advantage on paper, they secured only narrow 1:0 wins over Uruguay and Peru, both considered to be among the weaker squads.
Ecuador (women) vs Argentina (women) Prediction
Given Ecuador’s defensive frailties — five goals conceded so far — and the likelihood that even a draw may not suffice, Argentina are expected to score at least twice. That was also the case in their most recent meeting in 2021, which ended 2:2.
