The 2024 Copa America returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Ecuador lock horns with an impressive Mexico side in an important clash at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.

Mexico vs Ecuador Preview

Ecuador are in second place in Group B of the 2024 Copa America standings and have stepped up to the plate in the tournament. The Ecuadorian outfit eased past Jamaica by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Mexico, on the other hand, are in third place in their group and have stepped up to the plate over the past year. El Tri slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Venezuela in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
