Mexico was tied 0-0 at halftime, but they scored three goals in the second half to run away with the win. Mexico recorded 11 total shots, five shots on target, and had 48% of the possession in the game. Mexico got goals from Chavez, Fidalgo, and Quinones, while Quinones had four total shots and Rangel made one save in the win. 

Mexico finished first in Group A with nine points, which was five points ahead of South Africa, which was the second place team. Mexico started the World Cup with a 2-0 win over South Africa and a 1-0 win over South Korea in their first two matches. Mexico has had goals from Quinones (2), Romo, Chavez, Fidalgo, and Jimenez, while Alvarado has two assists. Quinones has led the team with four shots on target, while Rangel has made five saves in three games. 

Ecuador Betting Preview

Ecuador comes into this match after they defeated Germany by a score of 2-1 in their last game.

Ecuador recorded seven total shots, three shots on target, and had 39% of the possession in the game.

Ecuador finished third in Group E with four points, which was two points behind Germany and Ivory Coast, who tied for first.

Ecuador has had goals from Angulo and Plata, while Rodriguez and Vite both have one assist. Valencia has led the team with six shots on target, while Galindez has made 11 saves so far. 

Mexico vs Ecuador Prediction

Ecuador was able to escape with three points against Germany to advance to this round, but they scored zero goals in their first two games, including a 0-0 draw with Curacao. Mexico has won all three of their games and they have outscored their opponents by a total of 6-0. Mexico has looked very impressive to start this tournament, but both sides are very strong defensively, so I don’t think we will see many chances. I don’t really have faith in the Ecuador attack, so I will back Mexico to win in regular time.
