Reasons For Argentina vs Ecuador predictions & Betting Tips

Argentina are the favourites for this match with odds of 1.42 with Unibet, with Ecuador the outsiders at 8.00 with bet365 to cause an upset in Sao Paulo.

It’s crunch time for Jorge Sampaoli’s men, who are in serious danger of not qualifying for a World Cup for the first time since 1970. That’s right, we could be without Lionel Messi in Russia next year.

Despite the talent they have, Argentina have really struggled since reaching the final in 2014. Neither Sampaoli nor previous managers Tata Martino or Edgardo Barza have been able to find a winning combination and it could prove costly.

Simply put, los Albicelestes must win against Ecuador on Wednesday. A draw could be enough if Paraguay, Colombia, Chile and Peru all drop points, but they don’t want to have to rely on other results.

Saying that, even if they do win it could only be enough for a play-off spot. A win won’t be easy either,  Ecuador will be motivated simply with the possibility of stopping a major South American rival from making the World Cup even though they can’t do so themselves.

The good news for Argentina is that when there is Messi there is always a chance, and although the Barca superstar could only help inspire them to draws in their previous matches at home to Venezuela and Peru, we think he’ll step up to the occasion here when it really matters.

Messi to score first is priced at 3.60 with Unibet, with an Argentina win 1.42 with Unibet. Those odds do seem a little short to us though, given the visitors form and the fact Ecuador won in Buenos Aires in the reverse fixture.

Perhaps there is more value in the correct score market, with Argentina to win 2-1 priced at 8.50 with bet365. We’re expecting a tight, nervy encounter with Messi and co to prevail by the skin of their teeth.

Argentina vs Ecuador Form

Argentina travel to face Ecuador in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Three successive draws have left them with it all to do in order to qualify for Russia 2018. Nothing less than a win will do against Ecuador.

Argentina Form

Los Albicelestes are not in good form right now. Three successive draws have left their World Cup hopes hanging by a thread, with successive home stalemates against lowly Venezuela and Peru.

Argentina Form: DDDWWL

Ecuador Form

Ecuador on the other hand have lost their last three in a row. They are officially out of contention to qualify for the World Cup, so you wouldn’t rule out another defeat on Wednesday morning.

Ecuador Form: LLLWWD
