Ecuador hosts Argentina for the last round of the South American 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Both countries have already qualified for the upcoming World Cup, and this clash is simply played for prestige. Argentina is undefeated in the group, winning in eleven, while sharing points in five of the sixteen matches they played. Ecuador is happy with a third-place finish, only behind the strongest nations of the continent, Brazil and Argentina. Avoiding the loss in this duel will be a phenomenal result for the hosts, as Gustavo Alfaro's men already gave great resistance to Brazil, playing 1-1 on this ground.
The hosts are coming from a 1-3 defeat against Paraguay, while the guests arrive from a 3-0 home win over the weakest nation in the region, Venezuela. Ecuador is tied with Argentina for the second-best attack in the group, as both squads found the net twenty-six times. "La Tri" has been the third-best host in these qualifiers, losing just one out of eight home matches so far. Also decent defensively, Ecuador has conceded the third-least goals in the group, only more than Brazil and Argentina. In the attack, they are led by Michael Estrada, who has scored six goals for his national team in this qualifying round.
Argentina is, as usual, one of the favorites to bring the World Cup trophy home. Led by the best player of all time, Lionel Messi, they are always expected to be a threat to any national team. Winning the latest Copa America, Scaloni's squad is confident about going unbeaten in this group. However, the visitors will also be satisfied with a point here, as they have nothing much to fight for, and will only try to avoid the debacle in the upcoming meeting.
I expect the hosts to survive for the entire ninety minutes, and to give the favorites a hard game. Good luck!

厄瓜多尔将在2022年南美世界杯预选赛最后一轮迎战阿根廷。这两个国家已经获得了即将到来的世界杯的参赛资格,而这场比赛只是为了声望。阿根廷在小组中保持不败,11场比赛获胜,在16场比赛中有5场得分。厄瓜多尔以第三名的成绩结束了比赛,仅次于非洲最强的国家巴西和阿根廷。在这场比赛中避免失败将是东道主的一个非凡的结果,因为古斯塔沃·阿尔法罗(Gustavo Alfaro)的男队已经对巴西队进行了巨大的抵抗,在这场比赛中,他们以1比1的比分战胜了巴西队。
东道主巴西队1-3负于巴拉圭,而客队则是在主场以3-0击败该地区最弱的国家委内瑞拉后抵达的。厄瓜多尔和阿根廷在小组进攻榜上并列第二,两支球队都进了26球。“拉三”是这些预选赛的第三佳东道主,到目前为止,主场八场比赛中只输了一场。同样防守出色的厄瓜多尔在小组中失球倒数第三,仅次于巴西和阿根廷。在进攻方面,迈克尔·埃斯特拉达(Michael Estrada)率领球队,他在这轮资格赛中为国家队打入了6个进球。
像往常一样,阿根廷队是最有希望将世界杯奖杯带回家的球队之一。在史上最优秀球员梅西的带领下,他们一直被认为是任何一支国家队的威胁。赢得了最近的美洲杯,斯卡洛尼的球队有信心在这个小组保持不败。不过,参观者也会对这一点感到满意,因为他们没有什么可以争取的,只会努力避免即将到来的会议的崩溃。
我希望主队能撑过整个90分钟,给热门球队一场艰难的比赛。好运!
