The United States regularly participates in major international competitions and, over the past decade and a half, has twice managed to reach the final of the World Youth Championships, where they lost both times. But in 2017, they did not go without a trophy, winning the CONCACAF Youth Cup. The Stars and Stripes are not doing so well in 2023, as they have already played four friendlies without a single win. Against Nashville FC, they lost 1:2, 0:4 to the French, 2:4 to the English, and drew 1:1 with the Serbs. Now, they have a series of official matches ahead of them.

The Ecuador national team is the last World Youth Championship bronze medalist. At the same time, for the team, it did not begin the best way, as in the group stage, they scored only four points in three games and qualified for the playoffs with difficulty. Instead, in their cup battles, they beat the Uruguayans and Americans 3:1 and 2:1, respectively, lost to South Korea 0:1 in the semi-finals, and won the Italians 1:0 in extra time in the bronze medals game. Before the 2023 World Cup, the Ecuadorians played two friendlies in which they beat the Dominicans 3:0 but lost to the New Zealand side 0:1, which happened five days before the tournament.

The Ecuadorian team was a bronze medallist in the last World Cup, which indicates the solid training of young professionals in the country. Still, counting on a positive result in the upcoming match will be challenging. The Americans, too, have a good generation capable of making noise at World Cup 2023. The Americans did not play their best friendlies in March but have gained some practice against some of Europe's top national teams, which should help them now take on the Ecuadorians. You can bet on the victory of the USA team.

The USA and Ecuador teams have met twice at the World Youth Championships in recent years. Both times, the rivals delighted with bright and entertaining football. At the 2017 World Cup, they put on quite a show when they scored six goals in a 3:3 draw. Two years later, they met again when the Ecuadorians won 2:1. Now, the opponents will face each other again, with plenty of goals from both sides. Therefore, we would expect a total over 2.5 and Both teams to Score - Yes.
