World Cup
The mythical "Azteca" stadium can once again help the host Mexico. The Mexicans have never lost a World Cup match at this venue. In the group stage, they performed perfectly – three matches and three victories without conceding a goal. Mexico has now secured six consecutive wins in official matches and has not lost in 11 straight encounters.
Ecuador, on the other hand, has lost only one of its last 22 matches. However, that loss was indeed at this World Cup after a 0:1 defeat to Ivory Coast. They then failed to break through Curaçao for a goalless draw, but secured their place in the knockout stage with a 2:1 victory against Germany. Thus, they managed to reach the Round of 16. 13 of Ecuador's last 16 matches had under 2.5 goals. The last three encounters between Mexico and Ecuador also ended in draws.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsTwo tough teams that rarely concede losses and goals. Mexico will once again have the home advantage at the mythical "Azteca," but above all, it seems that there will not be many goals, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in this match.
