Chile proceed with their bid to win a third consecutive Copa America title when they take on Ecuador.
Alexis Sanchez was among the scorers as they trounced Japan 4-0 – yet La Tricolor tasted rout by the equivalent scoreline in their opener against Uruguay.
Ecuador vs Chile Preview:
Chile had the perfect to their title defense. They recorded a huge 4-0 win over Japan, and will be hoping to make it two out of two, and almost ensure their participation in the knockouts. Goal-difference might play a factor in determining the group champions, should Uruguay along with them end up with two wins from the first two games, and their face-to-face final group stage game end in a draw.
All things considered, the defending champions will search for a gigantic success here. The certainty that they have won three of the last four h2h meetings, and enlisted six of the last ten such wins, will help their odds. Likewise, Ecuador had yielded at least two goals in three of the last four no holds barred fights, and lost the last three encounters with the team, in different editions of this competition.
