Though Mexico entered as the group favorite, the odds are now against them following a couple of poor initial showings.

That means they need a win against the team that was considered the second-strongest in the group.

Mexico Vs. Ecuador Preview

Mexico has backed itself into a corner. They now must win against Ecuador to advance. A draw won’t go it, as the teams are equal on points, but Ecuador would nip Mexico on goal difference — +1 to 0. In that scenario, Mexico’s lack of a dominating win over weak sister Jamaica (just 1-0) would come back to bite them.

Mexico seemed like it had lined itself up to overcome that initial sleepy effort. They piled up 2.88 xGoals (just 1.17 against) against the Venezuelans but failed to break through. Mexico dominated across the board statistically, going +8 in shots, +3 in shots on target, +5 in corners, and winning possession 61-39.

If Mexico can just up the finishing quality and summon a similar effort here, they’ll have a chance to advance.

However, the teams’ performances so far suggest there’s no reason to expect a Mexico victory. Each team lost to Venezuela and beat Jamaica. Ecuador at least has a valid excuse for its loss — they played most of the match down a man after a first-half red card.

Now, Ecuador has the advantage of inertia. That is, they simply need to draw to get through and don’t need to take any major risks. The burden is on Mexico to make something happen.

Bettors may want to look for a live opportunity here. An early Mexican goal should open things up considerably, as Ecuador would then need to push forward.
