International Friendlies | Ecuador VS Bolivia; Thursday 13 June at 08:30 GMT +8

Ecuador and Bolivia are preparing for the Copa America tournament, with Ecuador having realistic chances of reaching the quarterfinals. Ecuador is in the group with Mexico, Venezuela, and Jamaica, but has only won two of the last six matches. Bolivia, in the Copa America group with Uruguay, the USA, and Panama, is unlikely to challenge them for the top two spots. Bolivia will fight Panama for the third position, having lost three of the previous four games. Ecuador is much better than Bolivia, but under 2.5 goals is a safer bet for this tie. Ecuador has struggled with scoring, with only three goals in the last six matches, while Bolivia has scored five goals in the previous six.

Ecuador lost against Argentina in the previous game, but head coach Felix Sanchez Bas expressed satisfaction. He viewed the match as a test for the team to see where they need to go. Despite the defeat, Ecuador tried to stay in the game and played face-to-face during the second half. He urged the team to continue working and improve.

Bolivia, despite being the weakest team at the upcoming Copa America, is optimistic about the team’s performance. Head coach Antonio Carlos Zago believes that the people’s encouragement and warmth will be crucial for their success. He believes that the players are happy and that trust is essential for continued work. The team is excited and believes that the competition will be challenging due to their past successes. They are also in a process of growth and improvement in the Copa América, making it a crucial competition for Bolivia.
