Copa América 2024: Argentina v Ecuador – Preview, predictions, picks, offers and odds

Argentina take on Ecuador on Thursday at the Copa America

Match Preview

Argentina face a nervous wait to see if captain Lionel Messi is fit to face Ecuador in the Copa America quarter-finals tomorrow night.

Messi missed the final Group A game – a 2-0 win over Peru – after sustaining a thigh injury in the win over Chile. The 37-year-old has returned to training ahead of the game in Houston and coach Lionel Scaloni will give his star man every opportunity to prove his fitness.

Argentina go into the game as one of three teams to carry a 100 per cent recored through the group stage. They also possess the striker in form with Lautaro Martinez top of the goalscoring charts with four.

Ecuador finished second in Group B after claiming four points from their three games. They have never beaten Argentina at the Copa America and go in as massive underdogs.
