One of the matches in the third round of the group stage of the Copa America 2021 will be between Venezuela and Ecuador. The Ecuadorians are the favorites in the match, in our opinion, they are worthy of it.
Team Venezuela: one of the weakest teams in South America
In 2021, Venezuela has played four official matches and has not won a single one during that period. In the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the future formal home team tied with Uruguay and lost to Bolivia in La Paz. In the 2021 America's Cup, they lost spectacularly to the Brazilians 0-3 and drew 0-0 with Colombia. The draw against Colombia was a great success for Venezuela, one might even say good luck, given that the Colombians had a huge territorial advantage, shooting toward the goal more than twenty times. Before the start of the third round, the Venezuelan team is in third place with one point.
National team of Ecuador: a victory is needed
The team of Ecuador is one rank below Venezuela. However, it should be noted that the Ecuadorians played only one match in the group stage of the Copa America. The Ecuadorians played the Colombians, who failed to score against Venezuela. In addition to the match against Colombia in 2021, Ecuador played two games against Peru and Brazil in the 2022 World Cup selection, both losing 1-2 and 0-2, respectively.
Betting and prediction
The last two official matches between Venezuela and Ecuador ended in victories for the Ecuadorians. It is very likely that this team will also win its third consecutive official match against Venezuela. After losing to Colombia, Ecuador needs to win Monday's match. Moreover, it may happen that the fate of the fourth place in the group will be decided in this match. Here are the following bets: W2 for 1.685, ТO (2.5) for 2.50, X for 3.60.
