The Copa América reaches a point of climax as the last matchday of the group phase is upon us. Now, two needy teams face once Mexico and Ecuador meet.
The Tri is coming from a pretty complicated game against Venezuela, where they ended up losing by 1-0.
The Equatorial team beat a week Jamaica to reignite their hopes of qualifying.

Why Bet on Mexico?
Mexico had some hope of having a good Copa América after beating Jamaica in a fun game. However, La Vinotinto stood in their way and played one of their best matches in history, thus taking the win with a gigantic Rafael Romo and an excellent Salomon Rondon.
There are plenty of doubts about this Mexican National Team’s generation and their last game just added salt to the injury. Even in “local” ground (with a great majority of Mexican fans), is easy to see that, any team that poses a mild challenge to the Tri, will most likely take something from it.
Getting out at the group phase would be a massive flop, so they should do their best.
Why Bet on Ecuador?
The Banana Mecánica recovered from a defeat against, precisely, Venezuela to take a convincing win against Jamaica. Now everything is in their hand, as even if the first place is somewhat of a Utopia now, a win or a draw would automatically give them the ticket to the next phase no matter what.
With players like Kendry Paez and Moises Caicedo, the Equatorial team was expected to lead the group by some margin but, in reality, their usually low performance on the big stage keeps weighing on their minds. As said before, this team had decades without a win in the Copa América group stage until they beat Jamaica.
Now everything is in their hand, so their most expensive weapons must stand up.
Final Betting Analysis: Mexico vs. Ecuador
These teams played a total of 13 times in history with seven wins for Mexico against only three by Ecuador. Their last game ended in a 0-0 draw, for a friendly in 2022. We must point out that Ecuador balanced things out as of late, with two wins in their last five matches against this rival.
As said before, Mexico seems to crumble every time the rival stands up to give them a real challenge, so it’ll be no surprise if they flop again. We’ll go for a 1-1 draw.
Go for a draw at 3.40. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $240 for a total pay of $340.
