Brazil U20 vs Ecuador U20 Game Preview:
Talking about Brazil’s U-20 side first, the hot-favorite side topped its group (A) by securing 10 points in four games, winning three (against Peru U-20, Argentina U-20, and Paraguay U-20) and drawing one (against Colombia U-20).
In their first final-round game, they’re all set to face defending champions Ecuador in a few hours, an opponent they’ve never lost against. Brazil is undefeated in the championship and scored the second-most goals in the tournament (9) after Uruguay (11). They would like to continue their brilliant goal-scoring form and put on an overall good show when they face Ecuador, extending their winning streak against them.
On the other hand, defending champions Ecuador isn’t doing very well in the championship and qualified for the final round after finishing third in Group B after securing just five points (one more than fourth-ranked Chile U-20), winning one (against Bolivia U-20), drawing two (vs. Chile U-20 and Uruguay U-20), and losing one (vs. Venezuela U-20).
In their first final-round game, they’re up against hot favorites Brazil U-20 side, an opponent they’ve never won against. Without a doubt, their opponent Brazil is in brilliant goal-scoring form, but the Ecuadorian side knows very well how to stop any attack. That said, they would go all in against them and register their first win against them because, with their recent performances, it’s going to be very hard for them to defend their title.
