Uruguay U20 vs Ecuador U20 Predictions

Uruguay have emerged as serious challengers to France and Argentina for glory at the World Cup. Their young side has taken to this tournament in Poland, while they are aiming to take the step up to the top side. Youth development had been lacking in Uruguay, but they’ve streamlined their pathway through to the senior set-up. That helped their side for last year’s World Cup in Russia, while their 2019 generation is set to challenge for glory this summer following some impressing displays.

Uruguay seemed to be in trouble in their final game, as they were going up against a New Zealand team who made a great start. The pair had each won two from two, with the Kiwis racking up more goals in their victories. However, Uruguay dealt with it with ease, winning 2-0 in that clash to progress through to the last 16 with a brilliant record. Can they book a place in the last eight by seeing off Ecuador this week?

Ecuador aren’t as fancied for glory this summer, having come through their group with four points from their three games. They finished up as one of the best third-placed sides in the tournament, but they came up short against group winners Italy. A 1-0 win over bottom side Mexico put them into the next round, but they just scraped through. Does that mean that this is the end of the road for them in Poland?

Uruguay are coming into this clash following their fourth-place finish in 2017. Their youth side were also runners-up here in 2013, so they are getting talented youth players. On top of that, they won the South American championship at this age level in 2017. It’s been a strong period for the Uruguayan prospects, while they are looking good for another strong run at this tournament.

They’ve won their three games here so far, while their tournament record is impressive. They’ve not lost a game in their last 12 matches, bar a couple of defeats on penalties. They’ve been hard to beat overall while picking their form up at the start of this tournament shows that they’re a team to fear. We’re backing them to see off an Ecuador side who have seemingly reached their limit, which makes the favourites look well priced here.
