Scroll down to view all of our picks, a user poll, stats, and current odds for Australia vs. Ecuador.

Australia vs Ecuador Prediction: Recent performance and H2H stats

Australia’s last 5 matches

L'Equipe, a highly-regarded French publication, voted Graham Arnold as the best coach of the entire tournament, as he led Australia to two 1-0 victories against Tunisia and a much-fancied Denmark team. This success earned them a last-16 tie against Argentina. Arnold's hard work, which included a challenging qualification process and strict COVID-19 restrictions, was recognized with a contract extension until 2026. 

Australia ’s last 5 matches

Since their 4-0 friendly loss to Brazil in June 2017, Australia has only lost one game on their home soil, which was a World Cup qualifier against Japan, where they conceded a pair of late goals from Kaoru Mitoma, twelve months ago.

Ecuador’s last 5 matches

Ecuador came close to reaching the round of 16, but their hopes were dashed by Senegal in their final group game when Kalidou Koulibaly scored to give the African team the lead.

Despite securing wins against Qatar and a draw against the Netherlands, La Tri had to pack their bags and leave the tournament. Gustavo Alfaro resigned as manager after this disappointment, leaving behind a young and talented squad.

Australia vs Ecuador H2H Stats

Australia vs Ecuador Betting Tips

Australia vs Ecuador Prediction 1: Draw

Australia has named a 26-man roster for the match, with a mix of veteran and young players. They will be hoping for a solid performance because they will be playing at home. Enner Valencia, Ecuador's flamboyant captain, won't be available. They might perform worse in the last third as a result of this. Fortunately, they have a strong team, so any attacking weaknesses should be covered.

Australia vs Ecuador Betting Tips

Both of these clubs may struggle as they have yet to play a game this season, and a draw is anticipated.

Australia vs Ecuador Prediction 2: Under 2.5 goals

With only one official game played between them, Australia and Ecuador present a tough match to predict. In their first meeting on March 5th, 2014, both teams put on an entertaining show of goals in front of 7,115 spectators at the Den. Although some time has passed, neither team has been idle, developing strong attacking prowess. However, the slight difference in level between the two teams might make them apprehensive when facing each other again. We anticipate a match with fewer than 2.5 goals as both teams will be cautious in their approach.
