Mexico vs. Ecuador World Cup Preview
One of the most significant dates in recent soccer history in Mexico is set for Tuesday, as the World Cup hosts collide with Ecuador in the round of 32 in Mexico City. The hosts will be heavily favored, but the South Americans could be primed to end the Mexican party.

Mexico Team News & Stats
It has been a sensational summer of soccer for Mexico so far, and they remain one of few sides that are yet to concede a goal at the World Cup. They topped Group A with no issues, winning all three of their clashes against South Africa, South Korea, and Czechia.
However, the success of their tournament will largely depend on how the knockout stage goes. Julián Quiñones has been one of their star performers to this point, scoring twice in three appearances.
Likely Lineup: Rangel; Sanchez, Montes, Alvarez, Chavez; Reyes; Mora, Romo; Alvarado, Jimenez, Quinones
Ecuador Team News & Stats
I was extremely high surrounding Ecuador’s chances at the World Cup, but they were slow starters, securing their spot in the knockout round with a famous come-from-behind win against Germany on MD3.
Their reliable defensive record has evaded them in the tournament to this point, keeping just one clean sheet in their three fixtures. However, the manner of their win over Germany last week indicates that they may have finally arrived at the tournament.
Likely Lineup: Galindez; Franco, Ordonez, Pacho, Hincapie; Yeboah, Caicedo, Vite, Angulo; Plata, Valencia
Head to Head
These nations have clashed on 16 previous occasions, with Mexico winning on eight occasions. The most recent meeting came in an international friendly last October, with a 1-1 draw being played out.
Mexico vs. Ecuador World Cup Predictions
I haven’t completely given up on Ecuador yet, and the style of this match could suit their defensive ability. Therefore, at the odds available, the South American nation could be worth chancing to book their place in the round of 16.
