Storylines

Ecuador: La Tri are currently bottom of the standings in group play after two matches and are desperate for a win in a tournament where four of five teams in the group advance into the next round. The team finally broke through with a goal thanks to Ayrton Preciado and Gonzalo Plata in their previous match against Venezuela, but will need to do more defensively to close out games if they want to have a chance against Peru. 

Peru: La Blanquirroja got off to a rough start in their Copa America campaign with a big 4-0 loss to host nation Brazil. After giving up an early first half goal, the team tried to compete for possession of the ball but couldn't stop the Brazil onslaught during the second half. But things got better. The team had a big comeback against Colombia and defeated Los Cafeteros 2-1 after an own goal was scored after bit of chaos off a corner kick. The team will need more from Renato Tapia in the midfield to ensure the win against Ecuador.

Ecuador vs. Peru prediction

Both teams play out a tightly contested match, but Peru pick up the win controlling the ball through possession. Pick: Ecuador 0, Peru 1
