Ecuador did not make the best of starts in the Copa America and proved yet again that they struggle in this competition. They met a devastating loss without even scoring and will now have another tough task coming their way. Ecuador will clash against Chile on Friday, who had the exact opposite result when they blasted Japan.

Chile took the lead at the end of the first half and doubled that at the start of the second to eventually beat Japan by an easy 4-0. Chile have been winning at half time in each of their last four Copa America matches and that was also the sixth win in a row. They have scored in seven consecutive matches (4-2-1) but kept just two clean sheets in that span.
Ecuador had a really rough match in the opener against Uruguay, where they eventually fell by 0-4. Ecuador are one of two CONMEBOL teams to never have won the Copa America. That loss means that they are win-less in 2019 (0-3-2) and it was the 14th consecutive match that they fail to beat a CONMEBOL side in this competition. One positive thing for Ecuador is the fact that 10 of their last 11 wins came by a -1 handicap.

Chile they have won four of the last five Copa America matches against Ecuador but kept just one clean sheet in the process. Given the nature of the two teams, I will take the Over 2.25 Goals here.
