ARG vs ECU Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Football Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Copa America Match - July 3rd, 2021
Argentina are back in action in Copa America 2021 as they play their first knock-out fixture against Ecuador at the Estadio Olimpico Pedro Ludovico on Saturday. Argentina are only three victories away from lifting the coveted trophy and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Ecuador have had their issues in Copa America this year but have managed to hold their own against the likes of Brazil. The Ecuadorians do not have a good recent record against Argentina and will have to play out of their skins in this match.
Argentina, on the other hand, are on an impressive unbeaten streak under Lionel Scaloni and will be intent on making the most of their purple patch this year. La Albicelest have a host of excellent players at their disposal and will need to be ruthless for the remainder of the month.

Argentina (ARG) vs Ecuador (ECU) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Argentina have some of the most lethal attacking players in Copa America 2021 and hold the upper hand going into this match. Lionel Messi came into his own with a brace against Bolivia last week and his record against Ecuador makes him the ideal captaincy choice for this match.
Alejandro Gomez was exceptional last week and his creativity could serve Argentina well in this match. Angel Di Maria has also recovered his fitness and is likely to start this game.
Ayrton Preciado and Moises Caicedo are the primary creative outlets for Ecuador and will need to play out of their skins in this match. Pervis Estupinan has plenty of experience against the big La Liga names in Argentina and will have to play a key role this weekend.
