Friendship match: Argentina vs Ecuador 

South American powerhouse Argentina has always been a star studded team, and recently, under the leadership of Messi, they have been a favorite to win various competitions. However, the team has not been able to win the championship for many consecutive years. In the last Copa America, they performed well and eventually topped the championship again after many years. Before the World Cup began, the team had not suffered any losses for more than three years, but they suffered a cold defeat in the opening game. However, the team regained their form in time and successfully won the championship. In this World Cup qualifier, they started well, and the team's morale is ideal;

In the past, Ecuador, a weak South American team, had mediocre strength. They participated in the World Cup main tournament for the first time in the early 21st century, and their performance has remained stable and they have advanced multiple times. In the past three Copa America, they have advanced from the group stage twice. In the last World Cup preliminary stage, they ranked high for a long time with a huge home advantage, and finally entered the finals again. After the World Cup, the team underwent a coach change, and they won multiple times. The team's morale is relatively ideal.

The two teams have recently faced each other six times, and Argentina has gained a huge advantage of five wins and one draw. (The two coaches won the previous Copa America and the Asian Cup respectively, but they met twice and Argentina won the game without conceding a goal.)

World champion Argentina is far ahead of their opponents in all aspects. In a neutral situation, they naturally have a slight advantage over Ecuador, who has a mediocre fighting spirit. If they offer a shallow initial score and Argentina has a high level of enthusiasm, then Ecuador, who is not favored, will only lose one goal at most in this game.
